The Locks of St. Lawrence

 

Day 2 (8/5/24) The Locks of St. Lawrence

We decided we would treat ourselves to room service coffee and stay in and watch going through the seaway from our room. It was the first of three scheduled "At Sea Days". There are three US locks and two Canadian. It is pretty interesting ordeal going through them. After entering they lower the water to the level of the other side. Our cabin window actually went below ground level as they drained the water out. It was raining the day that we went through but that didn’t keep people from watching the spectacle from the decks. For a better view we eventually went up on top ourselves. It took all day to get through the five locks. It was beautiful coming into Montreal as the sun was setting. We didn’t stop at Montreal but pushed on to Trois-Riviers where we docked the following morning.
