    Interesting that you posted that Rodger. I contacted Mr. Radliff last week, after I had read that, and he said that he has no idea of if and when the Canal will open for 2020. Again, I'm always optimistic and hoping that it will open at some point, as there are quite a few boats that I know of that need to come to the Great Lakes, 3 of which are on my delivery schedule for the spring season. Thanks for keeping on top of it!

    Notice to Mariners

    2020 Navigation Season Update

    April 23, 2020



    Due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, the Canal Corporation has suspended all non-essential construction and maintenance activities, therefore the New York State Canal system will not open for through navigation of the locks on May 15th as previously announced. However, to support the Canal's continued use as a prime recreational waterway, the Canal Corporation is currently evaluating operational options to ensure New Yorkers will have access to the Canal system, if even potentially on a regional basis, this season. We recognize that this is an extraordinarily difficult time and are sensitive to potential hardships Canal stakeholders, as well as many other New Yorkers, may experience. The situation with COVID-19 is ever-evolving and we are trying to adapt our plans accordingly. Future updates will be posted through our Notice to Mariners program. We appreciate your patience.

    Yep, got that note as well.

    Certainly not unexpected, and hopefully they will be able to rectify things quickly (relatively) and timely. From the sounds of the news this morning, it's like all of a sudden, there is an uptick in optimism for NY and the USNS Comfort is leaving town by the end of the week, and here in Ohio, we are looking to reopen some business by the end of this week.

    Stay safe everyone, and lets get back to doing what we all love to do!
