Day 46 - October 29, 2012: Whitten Lock and Midway Marina

This morning we went through the Whitten Lock, which dropped Great Laker an incredible 85 feet. This is the ninth highest lock in the U.S. Since starting in Lake MI at 581 feet above sea level, we have dropped 167 feet and still have 414 feet to go before the Gulf.

Whitten Lock has an 85 foot drop

We stayed at the Midway Marina about four miles past the Rankin Lock. Given a forecast of 33 degrees overnight, we decided it would be a good idea to get shore power so our boat heaters could keep us warm.
