>> Tania said you need to hit the horn each time you see them touch the boat.
@ian I should get a spray bottle of water like you use for training cats.
Another POTD. This big freighter passed us in the Welland Canal. The Welland requires a minimum of three people on pleasure crafts, so we hired a local guy called Roger. He has worked the canal for 40 years and knows everything about it. For example, this freighter was still in the lock when we got there. Roger said to tie up at the wall because it would take about 30 minutes. Sure enough, it was almost exactly 30 minutes. He said the lock is 80 feet wide and the ship is 78 feet wide.
We did the entire canal in only 8 hours which is really good time.
