The lines to hold us steady as we go through the locks have to be 125 feet long, with the crews of the boats easing and tightening them as the water swirls around us.
Tomorrow is the last day of provisioning whilst we are on a dock, so beer and water and other bulky stuff are being brought down during the afternoon. The next official dock we'll be on will be in Tahiti.
