July 25 – Newsflash Long Island Locks
45°15′7″ N 75°42′10″ W

It’s been raining in the Ottawa area for several days now. It rained really heavy last night & it’s still coming down pretty hard. Apparently the amount of rainfall in the area has been setting some records.

A few days ago I was tied up at Hartwell Locks, which are beside Carleton University campus.

I just heard on CBC Ottawa radio that there is flooding at various locations throughout the city – including at Hartwell Locks, where the canal is overflowing onto the adjacent street.

I am currently docked below the dam at Long Island Locks.

If water starts to come over the dam wall then maybe it’s time for me to move.

Stay tuned 🙀
