Rideau Fulton (Canada Triangle Loop) lock and wall, Skipper Bob claims suitable for yachts up to 42 ft, we disagree since our yacht is under 28 ft and docking along the pier is prohibited

Typical Canada lock wall in July-Aug.  Locals on Hoidaze just met us in the lock but invited us to stay at their private dock with power and water!   
Friendly Canada neighbors as always!
Fly your courtesy Canada flag above your US flag per custom.

Lachine Canal through Montreal, you must get your air hgt under 8 ft, but the best way around the rapids.  We took off the radar dome (2 quick disconnects and one ethernet cable)...well worth it!  Avoid the awful slow and $$$ Seaway commerical ship locks.

Richelieu typical lock, showing why 5.5 ft is the max draft advised.   Maneuver in for Eileen to take the bow cable, and me the aft cable.  All the ancient valves and gates are turned by  hand, mainly college kids on summer break but all very polite and friendly

Too many 'loopers' worry about self sufficiency, in reality it's more like a caravan of Airstream owners going 6 MPH from one campground/marina to the next, 3 boat lengths away and locking together as 'lock-mates'

Locking into a lake, here the lockmaster tosses down lines to you rather than you  tying around fixed cables.  The guides tell you what to expect, but it's better to be prepared for anything.
