Looks like you are having a very interesting trip! Sue, glad to see you getting around so well, you look great. Thanks for doing these videos, they are really interesting.
What are the guard gates for? Stopping marauding speedboats from Canada?
Geoff : Thank you for filming your trip !!! For those of us that hope to head south someday from the G'lakes to follow the sun, it's good to see the places you've been. Where's your final destination ? Just curious. P.
The guard gates can close so that they can do repairs on the down-canal locks. In the event of a break in a canal wall, guard gates can be lowered, to prevent water from long stretches of the canal being released.
I have a 49 ft meridian and this trio looks intresting. If i have a bridge clerence of 18 ft should i clear all the bridges.
Thank You

Our trip will take us to Newfoundland via the St. Lawrence and then down the coast of Nova Scotia, Maine and eventually RI.

Hi Charlie,

Sue says hi to all of you. She's doing well.
