Well we're moving along on the Trent Severn. Our goal
remains to get to Penetang for the weekend so we can relax for a week before
doing the Trent in the opposite direction. We are now traveling with another
boat. This couple just bought it 2 weeks ago and are now bringing it to
Georgian Bay. They are actually from Calgary but like to spend as much of their
summer as possible in Ontario.They are really nice folks, but it is slowing
down our progression through the locks a bit. Yesterday we made it to Campbellford,
lock #13. Today we set off from there and made our way to Peterborough at lock
# 19. 
It was pouring rain when we set out this am, but sailing is not always
nice. We thought about holding off until the rain settled, but then we
remembered we were not so sweet that we would melt. 
Besides, working in the
rain is a bit exhilarating! This particular picture of Jim reminds me of
Captain Highliner. For those who don't know or don't remember, Captain Highliner
was the character created by some food company to advertise their fish sticks.
The rain settled down once we got to Rice lake and by the time we got to Peterborough it was beautiful sunshine all around. Many beautiful homes along this lake too.
So tomorrow we keep plodding on. No idea how far we'll get
but hopefully at least another 10 more locks. I'll keep you posted. For now I
wish you all good night.
PS. Alex and Simon, I hope you saved some of that El Dorado
rum for me!
