John and Judy Gill of the Two J’s V are pleased to announce a new section to their popular Great Loop website for:  POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS.  Actually the website presentations are in a “MOVIE” format, so that viewers / presenters do not need to have Power Point software to view and/or run these presentations.

The first presentation titled:  “LOCKING THROUGH” is a 60 slide lesson which covers the equipment needed and all the procedures to safely lock through from one body of water which is at a higher or lower elevation than the other.  Note:  All but one of the locks shown are on one of the several America’s Great Loop Cruise routes.  However, 3 are of the Soo Locks at Sault St. Marie, MI & Ontario, Canada (between Lake Huron and Lake Superior).  This “lesson” has won 3 USPS District 5 and 2 National Awards for “Excellence As An Electronic Teaching Aid”.

The second presentation titled:  “A CRUISE IN THE PAST LANE” is a 94 slide presentation about a weeks bare-boat charter cruise on the Erie Canal aboard an “Erie Canal barge boat”.  The portion of the Canal cruised was the middle section, East and West of Rochester and to Seneca Falls and into Lake Seneca.

Log onto our website address below and scroll down to the POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS section (under the ARTICLES section).  Complete instructions and links to various Plug Ins and download help with a link to the “Free” QUICK TIME Player Downloader are included in the “Download Instructions” page for both Windows and MacIntosh users.

Each presentation is in two parts:  (1)  The first part is a Narration Script which should be downloaded and printed, prior to full screen viewing and/or for presentation purposes.  (2)  The second part is the full screen / presentation version.

For both presentations, there is also a small “preview section” which can be viewed to determine whether or not you wish to download the Full Screen / presentation version (click on the small forward arrow > at the bottom left of the first slide to start the “web version - self running”).  This version can not be downloaded.

If anyone has any difficulty downloading or viewing these presentations due to differences in computer technology, please send us an eMail at the address below.

I found the presentation informative and well presented. You did a nice job
of putting this together. This is a good presentation to give to the wife to
prepare her for locking.

I found that after I downloaded the Windows Media Player file, when I played
it, it ran too fast to follow. When I ran it directly from your web site, it
ran at a more normal speed.
