Before we could lock through, a huge passenger tour boat came up the lock, headed for Kingston. It was designed to fill the lock. The bow section hinged up with hydraulic pistons to fit. About a hundred people at $3400CN each. I'm in the wrong business.

Pleasant motoring down the Rideau River/canal, locking through when needed. We covered about 34 miles before the locks shut down for the day. Home tonight is below the locks at Black Rapids. This has been such a dry summer that they have posted warnings for deep draft boats, and the lawns at each lock are dry and brown. But not here. This close to the city, and an effort has been made to keep it wet and keep it green.

| Pasta, Kristen's sauce, falafel. Wow! |

The largest boat on the Rideau Canal System is this cruise ship which spends five days traveling between Ottawa and Kingston, ON
