Located right before the first lock, no power or water. It's along a wall and there is no security but very quiet and we had no issues. Probably around 250' long so room for a few boats. The Canadian border patrol folks stopped by to check if we had processed in. Great location to catch sub early start on the Welland.

31 Jul 2023. Arrive early and get a space at the small craft dock. We contacted the canal personnel on channel 14. We were given instructions and told that we would be the lead boat so that they would relate instructions only to us and the other boats would listen. We met our hired third person to be able to do the upbound transit. He was waiting for us as we pulled in. The transit upbound was very challenging. We had to wait for a down down freighter, so we didn't start our Transit until about 10:15 a.m. the lockmaster will dictate who goes in first and who rafts off of each boat and your position in the lock. Locks one and two are a starboard tie, and the remaining locks are a port tie. Follow the directions of the lock staff. We had to wait for at least four freighters along the way. We got to the free wall in Port colborne at 8: 15 p.m. Sam & Rev on Here's To Us!!, 50' Carver at WhatYachtToDo.com
