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.
- Very old lighthouse
- Prescott Bridge
- Iroquois Lock (#1)
- More freighters in this area as they work through the locks
- That’s the biggest marker I’ve seen
- Sailor of the day
- Draining the pool – 38ft drop in the Eisenhower Lock (#2)
- Snell Lock (#3)
- We were “rafted” together in the lock (tied to each other) – not fun!!
- I am so out of here….
- huge marker near Cornwall – they like them big up here
