What started out to be a long day was curtailed because of storms coming through. We did accomplish going through 8 locks. It took longer than we estimated because there was a bit more traffic today and we had to wait about 25-40 minutes to get into locks. There were also a lot of “no wake” areas and small boats that we had to slow down for. After 7 hours of traveling, we saw the skies changing and radar showed some biggish storms coming our way. As we entered the last lock there was rumbling in the skies. We called and cancelled our reservation at a marina about 2.5 hours away and settled in outside the last lock. The storms never came but we had a beautiful and quiet setting to enjoy the night.
