This is the start of the lock system of the river. We went through 3 locks today. They do it differently than on the Trent-Severn so it was all new. We also had a 15-20 knot wind on our stern which made controlling the boat in the lock a challenge. We made it through the first 3 locks without scrapping our boat our someone else’s. It was a pretty tense day and 30 C and 80% humidity – I think we all need a shower and a cold drink.
