Feeling Big!

Feeling very very very small!

It just boggles my mind to know the Lake Ships fill these locks!!!

On your way to Toronto.

Boy, that *is* a big lock! Wow. When you look at the water level marks on the side... huge!

Here is a photo of one of our "bigger" locks from the Erie Canal, but it's big only in terms of water level, not sheer volume.

We started at the top of the line my wife is holding.

Seems big until you are sitting there waiting to tack across a channel after a container ship passes. And waiting, and waiting, and waiting...

The answer to this is always: "More than you had hoped there would be."
