Tonight we are anchored in a little Bay in Buckhorn Lake. We crossed three lakes today; and went through 4 locks from Kirkfield Lock, Rosedale, Fenelon FAlls and Bobcageon. Not my favourite part of the Trent. Bcuz its Saturday there are hundreds of crazies still driving in the darklike they're on a highway. Sadly tomorrow will be the same but we will endure. This is a beautiful rver system but boring as hell when you're travelling through for the 6th time. You have to stay alert for people who cross your path wihtout looking, deliberately come too close to get a look at the boat and then rock us as they take off. Today I almost ran over a little runabout becasue they stopped going into the lock ahead of me. Uh...no brakes, people!!
Anyway, we're on the downside - crossed over the height of land at Kirkfield.
Met a lovely lady who was just travelling on her boat, catching the lines for her partner. She was very fragile, but determined. A head nurse at Toronto General, just diagnosed with alzheimers and feeling very say and frustrated, knowing she ws losing it - couldn't rmemebr where they were headed or the name of her town. She proud;y announced she would be 70 on Feb.1 Made me grateful for our current condition.
I would love to post pics but the interent isnt cooperating and drops my posts when I attempt it, so you'll have to imagine all the lovely little spots we are seeing again.
tomorrow Buckhorn, Lovesick , Burleigh [a big one]. Maybe as far as Lakefield. Peterborough on Monday.
