Welland

Got woken for watch and was really confused, went through 2 locks of the Welland canal and then it was time to stand down. I stayed around a little to watch us go through the set of three huge locks. The great lakes are about 400 feet above sea level if that helps to reason why there are so many locks and how huge they are. Didn’t have work party and didn’t have to have all hands for the locks.

The 4 to 8 watch had perfect weather.
