It is certainly as interesting as looking at pictures of a few boxes
of ammo or hearing about mundane firearm tasks that could be done by
3d world teenagers.

You seem so obsessed with paint drying, I an starting to think you
just like huffing the solvent.

You find looking at map points interesting?

Isn't that all geography is? ... at least if you do not look into what
those points are all about.
I agree that if you do not have the intellectual curiosity to delve
deeper into the area, it probably would be boring.

There probably are hundreds of videos about traveling the Erie Canal,
the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway. I've watched more than a
few. This one, on the locks, was pretty good:

It is more interesting when you have a friend there and the canal was
just a minor part of a much longer journey.
As I said, at least as interesting as looking at pictures of your
little ammo stash.

The journey, I am sure, is interesting. The dots on a map, less so.

I see you are spending the night in Sackets Harbor and the St Larry is

The Sackets Harbor area is where I spent all of my childhood summers
and it was the locale for all of my early boating adventures. We
still have friends and relatives here so we'll be hanging out for the
weekend and taking it easy.

When I was a little kid there were still some big old lake schooners
docked here and I was always amazed by them.

That video does a good job of showing what it's like to enter lock 17
at Little Falls. You enter under a vertical lift gate that looks like
it is way too low, and it feels like entering a cave built into the
side of a hill. After you exit the lock you are running along a
channel on the side of the hill, looking down into the town below on
the north side. Interesting perspective from a boat where you rarely
look down at anything except water.

With just two of us managing the boat there is unfortunately no time
for photography.

Pretty cool, interesting trip you're taking. We've transited the Pinopolis lock several times on our trips down to Charleston. It drops 75 feet from Lake Moultrie down to the Cooper River. It's pretty awe inspiring to be down at river level and look up at those doors holding a lake behind them!
