Day 63 – Tuesday, August 11, 2009

We have parts!!!! The parts were delivered to the boat this morning and an hour later I had our generator running! By early afternoon all systems were 100% and we are ready to move on. John is waiting for a new starting motor to be delivered tomorrow morning. Once the starting motor is installed by the marina, we’ll move on and try to get out of Lake Simcoe and into the town of Orillia about 15 miles from here. From there we are two days from the Georgian Bay! Every day we get closer to the Big Chute a 57 foot drop via a platform that picks the boat up on slings and transports it down the side of a hill on rails! I’ve come a long way for this ride and I’m really getting excited!

Tonight we will dine on Barb and John’s boat! I think you could call this a boater's pot luck dinner. Not sure what will be served but I’ll bring the wine!

The pictures are of sights along the Trent-Severn Waterway.

Can you find the bald eagle?
