Seven Locks???????

Today was my day at the helm. I wasn't even aware of the picture as we were coming up to one of the seven locks we went through today. Concrete walls, fiberglass hull! On the first lock, I got taken by surprise by some turbulance. I paniced and told Ron to take it, but he kept reminding me I was doing o.k. and the bow thruster would be a good idea right now. It was a stretch for me and this afternoon we are tied up by Lock 7, done for the day and I'm feeling quite content! Seven locks, and no dings! Hay, maybe I can do this! The radios (if you notice the black wire connected to my ear and running down the front to a transmitter, was worth every single penny. So long as Ron is talking me through it, I feel confident ... more or less! Gulp!
