Roy,

I didn't push her to do the 18 miles. In fact, I let her decide which lock we would turn around at. It took us 2 hours and 15 minutes to go that far, and usually I would have done that in an hour or less. She felt fine until right after we turned around. About 5 minutes into the return ride, she started feeling like crap and we had to take several breaks to get back. We had to pass two more locks before we would get to the starting lock, and each one had a parking area. I offered to drop her off at the next lock where there were plenty of people, ride down to the car as quickly as possible, and then drive it back to pick her up. She declined.

I was also wondering why the seats weren't right next to one another, but I didn't want to bring it up either. Might just be a typo on his part. The 2 and 3 keys are pretty close together.
