Summary
I have been working since 1991, it was on a Viking 1988,
55' walkaround and a third station at the back port.
My husband Captain Marcel and i did Florida to Canada, all locks from ST-Catherine all the way to Tadoussac, where the gentleman of the marina woke us up and told us to go at Anchor because we could end up taking the dock with us so we was too heavy.
