Poppins and I lock through the Soo Locks in the Zodiac Thor. We watch for traffic, talk a little about the history of the Canadian Sault Canal, make the radio call, interact with the lockmaster and deal with the wind.
The history of the Sault Canal on the Canadian side is interesting. From the incident that lead to the building of a Canadian Lock to the complete failure of the lock due to a shipping accident.
