Just as I finished the last post, the boat engine suddenly shut down, and there were lights outside. Within a minute or so, we were surrounded by the walls of a lock, which kept getting closer and closer.
So close in fact, we could reach out our sliding glass door and touch the side of the rough, mossy wall.
Creepy! The wall was towering above us, and then I saw that there was a ladder 6 inches from our open door.
Guess I have an out.
But soon they had locked the gate behind the boat, and the boat quickly rose to the top.
Our ship captain must really be a good pilot to get a 38 foot wide boat within inches of the walls.
We have 8 more locks to go thru tonight. Not sure if I'll be able to sleep now!
