Wow! You guys weren’t tired of doing locks?🤣🤣

We joined our friends on SV Thaleia to transit the Welland Canal as up-bound passage requires at least three people, two line handlers and one operator. It was really helpful to have four people onboard. 
It was a very hot day but not busy. Went through the locks with only one other boat and only passed one large commercial boat.
Scheduled start time was 9AM but they got us into lock one early and we only had two short delays. Waited for the big ship to go through lock 7 and also waited for a GO train to pass before the bridge opened. We were very happy to get through the entire canal in under 8 hours as it can take 12-14 hours. 
Spent a very nice evening at the free docks in Port Colborne, had dinner at Canalside restaurant.
