Two Dollar Coin

The replica of the two dollar Canadian coin is in the park at Campbellford. We were docked right in front of the park and they had a country music concert in the evening. It was a nice town with some shops that we could get necessities for the boat. We left the next morning after filling up with diesel. We have gone about 620 nautical miles.

Lock 7--up and down and up again

We decided to stay at Lock 7 for the night on the top side. We went into the lock and were raised up. The lock master told us that the down side was better so he lowered us down and we backed out of the lock much to the surprise of the people waiting to go up. We have a one way pass through the locks. We had a very comfortable night and went through the lock again the next morning.

Taking turns opening the lock gates







Here we are at lock 3--the lock master was happy to let us open the locks. As you can see it is not automatic.

Boys and their toys


It was a crowded cockpit.

Our friends Art and Marie spent five days with us. We had the most beautiful sunset behind Grape Island and a few laughs!

Joe & Joan

Joe and Joan were our golf, pickleball and bocce ball buddies at the Villages last year. Here they are in front of their "downsized 3000 sq.ft. home. Joan designed the home and is an artist as well as a retired teacher. Joe loves landscaping and is also a retired teacher. We had a great time with them and hope to see them again soon.


Timber Ridge Golf Course, Trenton, Ontario

Timber Ridge is a beautiful course in Trenton, Ontario. We met our friends, Joe and Joan and played a round of golf. They were kind enough to show us the area by car. It has the largest Air Force Base in Canada and is a very beautiful place along the Bay of Quinte. They have lots of parks here and people enjoy the outdoors a great deal. We had a great time with them!
