Here Sandy, Mike and Bob prepare to cross the Welland Canal that connects Lake Erie to the south (right) with Lake Ontario to the north (left). This very deep canal is larghe enough for large great lakes freighters to travel between the two large lakes. Several years ago one freighter accidently smashed into the bridge that crossed this canal destroying the bridge. The agreement from the shipping company was to provide a pedestrian ferry across the canal at no charge to the users. The ferry has day time only operating hours and can carry no more than 5 passengers at a time!
