Raccoon watching Issuma from the side of the canal (parts of the St Lawrence Seaway are canals).

Heard you were doing some repairs . Are you back on the chemin or are you going to hunt the curly black haired wood pecker on the French Island.
All the young down easterners are lining up to go to the AUM festival. Luke slept over last night on his way out to Jasper. Kaylah's got a sore throat and lots of pluck.
take care yer sea worthy rascals-- Hurrrr. Gord

View from the deck of Issuma of the lock doors opening after descending about 15m/50'. There is a lock worker standing up, watching, in the upper left of the picture.

Looking up the wall of a lock in the St Lawrence Seaway. The spreaders of Issuma are just visible on the upper left. Small vessels like Issuma do not use the bollards that are set into the wall in this picture.

This is one of the two American locks in the St Lawrence (the other five are in Canada). Jordan is tending the bow line here as we descend. In the American locks, you pass your lines (ropes) around floating bollards--the yellow steel thing labeled `5` that slide up and down the lock side with the water level.

Two lakers, the Gordon C. Leitch (right) and Canadian Enterprise (left) pass each other in the channel of the St Lawrence Seaway. Lakers are tankers or freighters designed for the Great Lakes, they fit into the locks of the St Lawrence Seaway, and they have the bridge (where the ship is controlled from) forward.

(Wouldn't you have had to take down the masts to pass by the Canal?)
Wishing you the best,

Sorry, the blog is a ways behind and we won`t be able to meet up. We`re past Trois Rivieres, in Quebec City at the moment.
Amos,
Thanks, because we took the St Lawrence Seaway instead of the Erie Canal (which is a much easier route if going to NYC), there was no need to take down the masts.
