The lock tender paired us up with M\V Indigo to head out Tuesday morning and then another power boat came through the lock in the morning that we had to wait for and he was second in line. All three boats then went through the 5 locks together. That part of the canal is narrow and it is one way traffic to the first drawbridge so it is coordinated by the lock tender. We stopped in Chambly before the last three locks and the other two boats continued on. It was a hot day at 94 degrees and being in the sun most of the day tending lines at the locks. We hooked up to power at the dock in Chambly and this is our first day of air conditioning. The holiday celebration was set up right across the canal from us. We are tied up to a Ranger tug that we saw at Rouse's Point Marina that is flying their looper flag. We walked into town and found the grocery store closed for the holiday and a lot of the businesses so we headed back to the coolness of the boat. We listened to the party music and were sound asleep when the fireworks started around 11:30 pm according to our neighbors. We did not realize they had a four year old onboard as they never got out of the air conditioning until we were leaving the next morning.
