We are docked just before the last lock to Lake Ontario. It is sunny and warm and we are taking the time to clean the remnants of salt water off the mast fittings before putting the mast up tomorrow. We were lucky to get through the lock system because a couple of days ago a huge motor yacht was being delivered north and they were hurrying to get into a lock. They threw up a huge bow wave that broke over the wall in front of the lock and actually broke the lock door. There were a couple of boats that were already in the locks and we heard it was really rough and one got damaged. Apparently they worked late into the night to get those four boats through. The lock master radioed to us and another boat that we would not be able to get through and to dock for the night.
The next day we were able to get into the dock through the one door that was able to open. Our friends in a power cat we just behind us and their width is 17 feet and they had one foot clearance on each side. Don't know when the lock will be fixed.
