Two locks to go

The bridge and lock schedule worked as planned. We got through the second bridge a little early by riding the coattails of the Federal Yakina, a 650 foot freighter. It just meant we had to wait longer for our locking.

We’re at anchor just outside of the the last 2 locks. If tomorrow’s schedule is the same as today’s, it’s going to take all day to get through them both.

We do have a reservation at the Montreal Yacht Club for two nights. We’re looking forward to unlimited hot water and power.

We’ll be saying goodbye to Steven in Montreal. He’s going to be catching an Amtrak back to Chicago. 24 hours on a train to undo a month of sailing.
