Four more locks down, 15 to go. We hit lock 22 and the lock master said watch out for low water at lock 19... Lock 20, the lock master said there were 2 red buoys you need to stay close to. Call lock 19 lock master and he said just yesterday a sailboat drafting 7 foot got stuck Great news. We went for it hugged both buoys on the port side. Least we saw was 5'6". Seeing we draft 5'2", we were good. Close but no issues. Then we try to duck into Herkimer dock for a rain storm. That's when we had our 3rd grounding. Fortunately a soft grounding. Between the bow thruster and a few RPM, we broke free. Long day, 50 miles and tied up at Little Falls. A beer and some pizza is sounding good.
