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'
Ottawa top of the 'flight of 8 locks'. We were moved to the front to fit in a 'tiny' spot to max the throughput by amazing lockmasters
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

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.
More Keys Cruising...amazing water colors!
Massive Carillon Lock has a 200 ton guillotine door on the lower side...unique! https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/lhn-nhs/qc/canalcarillon/activ/navigation/eclusage-lockage
