Buckhorn Lock

Spent the night at Buckhorn Lock

They put all sorts of boats, canoes, jet skis, etc in the locks. They added one more houseboat to this group before they closed the gates.

Trip from Stoney Lake to Buckhorn

Google Earth

Ed's brother requested that we put in our GPS location so that you can go to google earth and see where we are located. Right now we are in Stoney Lake anchored by a big rock and some houses trying to escape the wind.

Here is the GPS 44 35.156'N
78 03.385W

Put that in the upper left corner of the google earth site.

We have gone over 700 nautical miles and we are still talking!

P.S. You can double click on any picture to enlarge it. The Plane is pretty cool.

Seaplane buzzing our boat.

We were anchored in Stoney Lake and the seaplane came in for a landing just behind the boat.

Hell's Gate on the Trent Severn

Here is the Kawartha Lakes version of Hell's Gate. That is a RC Church on the rock and the parishioners take their boats to church. It is a very narrow passage and you have to really watch the channel and markers.

Peterborough Lift Lock

On Friday, Aug. 3rd we went through the Peterborough Lift Lock. Basically you move your boat into a large basin of water and they close the gates and lift the basin, and all inside, up 60 feet to the water level above. Like going up an open air elevator in a bathtub!! After that we worked our way through 6 locks in about 8 miles and spent the night in Lakefield. Today we're at Youngs Point and will be heading for Stony Lake shortly where we hope to hang out on the hook around the many islands. Hopefully avoiding the multitude of rocks.
