The routine of canal cruising has established itself...early morning, around 7am, we put the water kettle on and start the engine. We do about 40 miles a day, depending how many locks there are and how smooth the process goes. Although it is summer time, we are the only one boat to lock EXCEPT in the Little Falls lock, climp of 40 feet, where we are stacked like sardines. The lock master had waited for as many boats as possible to lock together..it makes sense but it was a little tight!
Anyhow, we enjoy looking at the serene landscapes passing by, and look forward to the last lock of the day to tie up to the wall and enjoy the evening.
