Day 56 – Tuesday, August 4, 2009Barb and John in “Scoperta” and Barb and I in “Moor $tuff” left this morning after a late start. It was sad to leave Kathi and H

arold behind but hope to see them in a few weeks on Georgian Bay. The weather was building and as the day progressed, the wind made every lock a challenge to enter and secure the boat but after seven locks and ten miles we had enough! The wind was getting a little out of control so we found a nice place to tie up, get some ice cream - and then weather out the storm.
We are about 100 yards past the last lock in a canyon like setting well protected from any cross winds! This is a Parks Canada location that is safe and quiet.
The big treat today was to ride the Peterborough li

ft lock up 65 feet in a tub of water. When we got to the top something went wrong and they held us for twenty minutes while they announced that they were delaying

for maintenance! After all, it is 105 years old! For a brief moment, I felt like I was stuck on top of the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier in Chicago – a
little uncomfortable - but the view was great!
