We made it to the Rideau Canal's blue line by 8:15 am. But, there we sat until 11 am as we apparently lost the coin flip to the downward bound boats. It turns out that that was fortuitous as we got to watch and learn. Bicki noticed that several locks filled right to the brim so we lowered Nellie's fenders into the water. One thing we weren't expecting was the crowds. Nellie loved it. Her crew, however, was a bit intimidated.

Tonight we're tied to the wall in the heart of Ottawa. So little time, so much to see. DBH
