Kathy on the bow as we go
up and over!
About to reenter the water
on the other side
We saw more spectacular sights on our last leg of the Trent-Severn including a male and female swan with 5 babies. I took a quick photo but it came out too fuzzy. We went through our last lock and headed into the Georgian Bay which was a little stressful because we didn't have the right charts and there are so many rocks. Once we got here to this marina in Midland, we purchased the charts we need and hopefully will be able to negotiate these waters without too much stress although we've heard there are rocks everywhere!
I figured we went through a total of 67 locks in the Erie Canal and the Trent-Severn Canal and this is a picture of the gloves I used and the shoes I wore for this process:
You can imagine what would have happened to my hands without these gloves! I guess I'll get a new pair for the locks on the river system later this year.
We're staying at this marina another day to do laundry, cleaning, etc. Tomorrow we head out for another adventure.
The locks did a job on these
gloves and shoes!
