Year 2 Day 112

Today is Tuesday, July 17th and we're at Orillia, Ontario having arrived here on Sunday afternoon.  At this marina if you stay 2 nights, the 3rd is free so we're planning to leave in the morning heading for what they call the "Big Chute".  This is where they completely lift your boat out of the water over land.  Our plan is to get there early and tie up to the dock wall so we can observe the process before actually going through it.

Since last adding to this blog we have stopped in Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls where we were able to get in the water and swim.   The water was great - very refreshing.

Seaplane crash - one child and
one adult injured


Fenelon Falls - also called
"Little Niagara"

Passing in narrow and
shallow channel

The lock that had me hyperventilating -
the Kirkfield Lift Lock

At top of Kirkfield Lift lock

Hole in the Wall bridge

We found the perfect t-shirt for
Mike - his new nickname -
Mr. Fix-It


This is a great little town and very popular with the Canadians but we must move on.....
