We set off bright and early Sunday the 22nd with a boat full of help. Many thanks to Rosemary for the whole trip so far, and to Jim, Marcia and Nick who made the trip all the way here to help us up the Welland Canal. CSL St. Laurent came in behind us and we held them up the whole day.
They now do scheduled transits for pleasure craft, so we wound up with 4 big power boats and a Catalina 380, making us the smallest and slowest under motor. This was the first time we had rafted in a lock and the crew made it really easy for me to— I just drove the boat…
They also did a really slow fill that made the ride up almost easy. Here’s some of our large companions
Algoma Bear was headed down the flight as we came out the top. We got to the top and tied up about 18:00, Jim went and collected the car and now we’re all alone for the next leg. Thanks All!
The St. Laurent cleared out about 19:40 right in front of us.
