Starting out

The first step is the hardest, especially if it is on water. You sink or float. That being said it is hoped that all will work out one way or another.
4 options await us:
we come back with the boat
we come back with each other
we come back back with the boat and each other
we don't come back
Relatively simple eh!

Now to get down to see if I can get this blog page set up.

Trenton




Made it through the last lock at 6:45pm. With the rain all day we decided to make the run from Healey Falls (76 ft drop -2 flight lock) to Trenton. Presently at Murray Canal (Bay of Quinte) on the "free" wall for the night.
Locked through 17 locks and 31 miles plus an additional 5 over to Murray Canal. They want $1/foot in the Trent canal system, still reasonable in boating terms, but we decided to take the extra hour cruise for the free night. ( started today at 8:30am , finished at 8pm)
You don't realize how much we dropped today until I started adding it up We started the day at 430 ft above sea level and now are 230 ft above sea level. (17 locks did their work) . Still more to drop as we head further downstream to Montreal
Here are a few pictures to go along with today's events

    What an amazing "sunrise? sunset". Can't believe you have travelled through 17 locks. Those dam dear flies, got me too while in the little sailboat at the cottage. Looking forward to your next blog.
