Morning inspection revealed that the water level in Brockville had gone down a little, likely because the wind has eased up over night. That meant that the board walk up to the boat was no longer under water. Alas, the wind reprieve was short lived. While not as windy as the day before, the peak gust clocked in at over 30 kts of a cool north wind that had us dressed in toques and foulies to keep us warm.

Today was a mild mannered day with us following the shipping channel until we arrived at the Iroquois lock at a little after noon.

While we had read the St. Lawrence Seaway Pleasure Craft Guide, we neglected to note (or interpret) that we should have been monitoring channel 68.
Upon arriving, and after failing to hail us, lock staff drove to where the staging dock should have been (currently underwater, or otherwise not assembled) and called over to us to provide instructions.
He asked us to circle at the entrance until they opened the lock for us. The drop was only ~40", and took less than a minute to drop that amount!

Crysler Park Marina didn't answer their phone or radio so when we arrived we pick a pair of slips in the mostly empty marina. Turns out that the dock we selected was under construction/repair and they came and asked us to moving to a nearby dock.
Tomorrow we head to the U.S. lock (Snell and Eisenhower) and should end up near Cornwall by afternoon.
