Day 46 – Saturday, July 25, 2009Barb and I retraced our wake down (picture on left) the Tay Canal to finish the last few days of the Rideau Canal. While in one of the locks with the same boats, we realized we had been traveling with Mike & Jana aboard “Second Star” from time to time since Vermont and John and his family aboard ”Pearl” since the Hudson River! It turned out to be a long day so Mike, Jana, Barb and I decided to anchor out and get an early start the next morning. (Picture is Mike & Jana cleaning the weeds off their anchor the next day).
That’s when the problem started. The generator had a problem and we couldn’t cook on the boat. One thing led to another and before 24 hours was up three different systems had a problem. No sooner had we become comfortable with our location to anchor when the lighting, thunder and rain started! The weather will keep you awake but then, add in boat problems……………….it was a long night!
