Much of the canal has a 10 knot limit.

Actually the speed limit is 10 MPH, not KNOTS. This works out to about 8.6
Kn. boat speed. Distances along the Canal and the Hudson River are measured in
statute miles although currents in the Hudson are usually stated in knots. This
is designed to exercise the mathematical facilities of the navigator. A
pocket calculator is a good help.

Thanks for the clarification Larry; my bad. I top out at about 8 Kn so
no worries for me.

We were on the Erie Canal last summer and I seem to
recall that parts of the canalized Mohawk River had
speed limits of 40mph. Of course, travelling on a
slow trawler, I didn't pay close attention to those
signs, nor to the 10mph signs either.

When I was up there in 2005, the lock tenders on that stretch confirmed that
to me too.
