7/18/14: Up early and off across Rice Lake. The Lake was
calm, thanking God for a calm crossing.

Calm Rice Lake
Peaceful
As we exited the Otonabee River the Scotts Mills Lock 19
was right around the corner. This lock is much smaller than previous locks but
all 4 of us managed to squeeze in.
Close in the Lock
We docked at the Peterborough Marina, Peterborough,
Ontario. This is a great stop for provisions. Although we didn’t really need much
we all decided to wait out the weekend traffic and stay docked until Monday.
Plus, there was another free concert Saturday night, again right near the boat.
Tallest Lock Yet!
7/16/14: We left Campbellford and continued through 5
locks (16.5 NM) for a night tie-up Lock 18, Hastings. We could have gone further but the wind picked
up which would have made crossing Rice Lake uncomfortable.

7/15/14: Today we went through Lock 8 – Lock 12. Locks 11-12
were the first of two flight locks on
the Trent Severn Waterway. Flight Locks are two conventional locks joined in a
sequence of locks designed to handle the large change in water level. As soon
as the doors open to the first lock you enter the second lock. WOW! We docked
at the Campbellford City Wall and stayed for two days.

Shopping, free concert (right by our boat again), and time
to catch up on boat chores.
7/14/14: Today we entered the Trent-Severn Waterway. The
first 6 locks close together, less than 8 miles with lock 7 about 6 miles
further. Although we only went 12 NM we were beat from the locking so we tied
up at Lock 7, Frankford wall.
John aboard Endeavor a Catamaran decided to join our
group so we are now 4 boats strong. We had met John in the fall of 2013 at the
Joe Wheeler Loopers meeting than saw him again at the Norfolk, VA meeting. Glad
we caught up with him and he joined us.
