Birds on a Dead Tree - Looks Like They Were Placed as They are so Evenly Spaced
Private Yacht 'Blue Moon' on the St. Lawrence River
Tied Up at the Iroquois Lock Waiting for the Commercial Traffic to Clear
The Ships Rub Against this Rail to Slow Themselves Down
Ogdensburg, New York to Crysler Park Marina near Morrisburg, Ontario - The weather has been great, we have had a few storms but they pass quickly. Today we are travelling with Ted and Nancy from Aloha Friday. We had one lock to go through today on the St. Lawrence Seaway but had to wait for 2 hours for some commercial traffic to clear before we could enter. When we got to Crysler Park Marina, we called Canadian Customs and cleared through a phone call, were given a number and that was it. Pretty simple. Roger and Karen will catch up later today. They have a pool at this marina, and it was hot so we all went for a swim. Ruth and Wayne Pollock, who we met on the Erie Canal are at this marina and they were kind enough to drive us to Ottawa to go to a Rogers Store to pick up our wi-fi card so we can have Canadian internet. Another couple we met Steve and Rae Mason from Barefoot Shoes from Kinkardine, Ontario who we met doing the loop arrived to spend a few days on the Karen Anne.
