Day 50 – Wed. July 29, 2009

As nice as Trenton was we decided to leave the marina, get into the line of boats waiting to enter the canal then move up the Trent-Severn Waterway. Weather was a mixed bag today but not so bad that you didn’t want to drive the boat. With boats ahead of us it slowed us down a little but we still did 12 locks and 31 miles to arrive in Campbellford, Ontario. Ralph was there to handle our lines and try to inspire me to move a little faster as our late arrival was eating into his happy hour time! We were invited to happy hour on Kathi & Harold’s boat “Sonsie of Meaford” along with Ann & Ralph. With luck, Harold had had a spare solenoid to repair my ice maker. Tomorrow I will take some time and repair it!

We are tied to the wall in front of the visitor’s center that has Wi-Fi so we can finally get a few days posted to the blog and catch up with world events. Barb and I have decided to stay here an extra day and take a day of rest. Maybe we will walk or bike the town?
