The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation is reminding boaters that the minimum number of crew members for Welland Canal transit is three.
Due to a higher incidence of water turbulence, all upbound pleasure craft transiting from Locks 1 to 7 must have a minimum of three persons on board, announced the authority, one operator and two persons capable of tending the lines. Two persons are required on board for all downbound transits and Lock 8 upbound transits.
