Another Canadian difference: the marker bouys are smaller and much harder to differentiate.
Approaching the lock, I am at the ready with my trust boathook, watching that we aren’t too close to the spillway and relaying the lock side to Artie, who is up on the bridge. After I hook on in the bow, he goes to the aft deck and hooks onto the cable in the stern. We’ve got it down to a ballet at this point. Well, almost.
In this photo, you can see that we are at the top of the lock, and the boat down below is waiting to enter.
Some nice scenery along the way.
