The crew of a sailboat transiting the Erie Canal pauses their journey in Little Falls, New York, due to a state of emergency declared in the region following heavy rainfall and flooding from the remnants of Ophelia.1:35 The closure of the "flight of five" locks near Waterford forces a temporary slowdown in their transit toward the end of the canal.1:31 While waiting, the crew utilizes public amenities at Lock 15, which offers 130-amp shore power, fire pits, and a playground for their children.9:27 The vessel later encounters a delay at Lock 13 due to electrical damage at Lock 12 that prevents the gates from opening.14:33 After a short wait, the mechanical issue is resolved, allowing the boat to proceed to Lock 11 in Amsterdam.17:50 The 363-mile Erie Canal serves as a scenic, artificial inland route for vessels traveling south from Canada, offering numerous towns with docking facilities and public parks.6:05
