The back of the Parliment building as seen from the Ottawa River.
The flight of 8 locks going up.
SONATA on the blue line, waiting for 0830 opening.
The wheels on the top of the lock door open the gates that allow the lock to discharge.
This wheel opens the lock door; one on each side.
These are the cables we place a line around, one from the bow, one from the stern, to hold SONATA tight to the lock wall.
The first lock, Lock #1, water spilling over the top of the door.
Bonnie returning after a survey of the flight of 8 locks.
Lock #1 gate open, ready for SONATA to enter and commence the flight of 8.
SONATA in the lock, lock being flooded, locking up.
Charlie has the bow; Bonnie the stern.
SONATA moving from one lock to another.
Bonnie intense in her job of moving SONATA from one lock to another.
A tour guide explaining to his listeners that the Rideau was built to protect Canadian shipping from the enemy from the south that wanted to take over the St. Lawrence River . . . he looked at us when he commented on the enemy from the south..........
Near the top of the 8, on top . . .
The Flight of 8
The Ottawa 1st Baptist Church, a block away from SONATA's berth, where we worshiped on Sunday the 19th. So good to hear an organ played well during a church service!
