Once we passed the first lock (Deep Creek) on the Dismal Swamp, we tied up to Elizabeth Dock to ride out a big <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Nor'easter</span>. Predicted strong winds (gusts to 50mph) and rain for 4 days and the lack of other good places along the way made this location an excellent choice. </div><div> </div><div>We are sitting here with 4 other power boats and 2 sail boats. Most of the boats are heading south with us but there is one boat that is heading north, with plans to reach Greenland. I would believe that would be a challenge at this time of the year.<br /></div><div>We have had heavy winds and pouring rain all day. </div><div> </div></div><div></div><div><div><strong>Chesapeake Bay Travels</strong></div><div><strong></strong> </div><div><strong></strong></div><div></div><div>Chesapeake Bay has been a wonderful place to visit for the past 3 weeks. We have gone to many nice marinas, several museums, and continued to meet lots of great people. The weather overall has been wonderful, until the last few days. </div><div><br /> </div><div>It is our hope to leave the Deep Creek Lock Dock in the morning and move onto the Dismal Canal <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Visitors</span> Center on Friday and then to Elizabeth City, NC on Saturday. We then will cross the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Albemare</span> Sound and be about 75 miles from our property in North Carolina.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>After Tropical Storm Hannah, we left Cape May to travel up Delaware Bay. It was a beautiful day and the Bay was not rough. Our destination was Chesapeake City MD on the Chesapeake-<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Del ware</span> Canal. Along the way we passed several very large freighters and a lot of crab and oyster fishermen, called <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">watermen</span>. </div><div><br /></div><div>These pictures are from the travels up Delaware Bay and across the C&D Canal. Along the way we saw quite a few eagles. Below is a picture of an <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">immature</span> eagle flying over head. We spent a couple of nights on the dock in Chesapeake City. It was a very nice small town with some very interesting shops. Throughout our travels we came upon tall ships and very large freighters.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghazwIxgqT3rFbb0Ty_x6t7cPG4CZLJw8_1ZXm5bKQYQJ7SeQXHitwWlmoYaajJAbuke_28rNF_tnzCl1ohCxkya3z-rxdZLvOwxFxtzzoU-M2P6-PvYs_u-fYwHQKHTC-jEEAz0ZkEUg/s1600-h/P9082819.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249970491303172114" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghazwIxgqT3rFbb0Ty_x6t7cPG4CZLJw8_1ZXm5bKQYQJ7SeQXHitwWlmoYaajJAbuke_28rNF_tnzCl1ohCxkya3z-rxdZLvOwxFxtzzoU-M2P6-PvYs_u-fYwHQKHTC-jEEAz0ZkEUg/s200/P9082819.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtM0S14qzi2QrY_UsOlo1J1Zm0T9jJEJsQm7K_3DfJ9168cgLJKbAweLItPpwOK2XFZoJyeek7IwLmKrm6_XPWLmzvtwk-MfC91yxuK_pAsrAX5B9MSz8-wBBiJ-7q-KodX3rnm4aLeVk/s1600-h/P9102823.JPG"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1y-HDToaZhREl0aRuXHvic_CwkTfI7bJcdTkIqXk4v0UCWjl14-CxcpEPRuHV71rYQ-7woz60LwCPmOrIKGj4c1BqL2jV9cpd3Tuzv-Sz0j8JU_UqFkYaWy7R0jmvhxAjsj50s8t9s_w/s1600-h/P9102826.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249972270779317074" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1y-HDToaZhREl0aRuXHvic_CwkTfI7bJcdTkIqXk4v0UCWjl14-CxcpEPRuHV71rYQ-7woz60LwCPmOrIKGj4c1BqL2jV9cpd3Tuzv-Sz0j8JU_UqFkYaWy7R0jmvhxAjsj50s8t9s_w/s200/P9102826.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzhTYzXdHv3C0jMNa9NkSA81pbisnxXvY1plZG29Nl0Gcb70I5BEdK0VZRHfn18kB4pKUxsuCxGbNm7z3br5jSQEoT-CaplYJRSE2h19e_9EhBbg8-CLOqJFAIyrQnH3Puo9zNTVMYE_c/s1600-h/P9102829.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249972824799375010" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzhTYzXdHv3C0jMNa9NkSA81pbisnxXvY1plZG29Nl0Gcb70I5BEdK0VZRHfn18kB4pKUxsuCxGbNm7z3br5jSQEoT-CaplYJRSE2h19e_9EhBbg8-CLOqJFAIyrQnH3Puo9zNTVMYE_c/s200/P9102829.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXIUXi5qoQA-OgT6aM3S68ORRSx6hT_UoynbdBtj5kZeXx7ST8Du8Yyj4b3dKGg-_etllk7czy2ekBwfU_3qRNab6kcHivkQASAHmlHPfQ75LU8HHPXTUfGnXEuin-NNfr7mcuMBE_OJI/s1600-h/P9102827.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249973502063233842" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXIUXi5qoQA-OgT6aM3S68ORRSx6hT_UoynbdBtj5kZeXx7ST8Du8Yyj4b3dKGg-_etllk7czy2ekBwfU_3qRNab6kcHivkQASAHmlHPfQ75LU8HHPXTUfGnXEuin-NNfr7mcuMBE_OJI/s200/P9102827.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5pRQiSpCplIK0SMzuaHNcDCdh2DfaZVCHe7o18-o5tQEJ3Jq-hHslQ_kYmS7L-IPdnjnFh7DcmBPXtN63yKO1hTW_d-mlnJ33LjEYbj7G-l5wTj2yAShaJi8V1b0iZCSPuHsT4Jx0HWg/s1600-h/P9102834.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249974037150948722" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5pRQiSpCplIK0SMzuaHNcDCdh2DfaZVCHe7o18-o5tQEJ3Jq-hHslQ_kYmS7L-IPdnjnFh7DcmBPXtN63yKO1hTW_d-mlnJ33LjEYbj7G-l5wTj2yAShaJi8V1b0iZCSPuHsT4Jx0HWg/s200/P9102834.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNmA4CUAI5LXxkkYk527HhyLEdbAu1zQgGUZ8BcSI_LYAHmH2a23Viu0PfyH6E7N7pOPgaWMzJ17hfHkuwoWXKnKVt71CxFODLxm20aPaRmibO7rS3OQPRVnuaDMlRa43qbrUIItQ64mA/s1600-h/P9102838.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249974474745092898" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNmA4CUAI5LXxkkYk527HhyLEdbAu1zQgGUZ8BcSI_LYAHmH2a23Viu0PfyH6E7N7pOPgaWMzJ17hfHkuwoWXKnKVt71CxFODLxm20aPaRmibO7rS3OQPRVnuaDMlRa43qbrUIItQ64mA/s200/P9102838.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiGYM71kfKxWMzq1NHfhbSlp_CCubDljY6x17S6FTMRTpN0GG_7gfjN2ABuilqPgLAmkCEAx_3KUGSB6X8AeX4kY4D4MkCRvzRTKsIrxNymgc6hNhgYZnNtZy3XPBX5zDqKGULAaPaTzI/s1600-h/P1010001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249975140323642978" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiGYM71kfKxWMzq1NHfhbSlp_CCubDljY6x17S6FTMRTpN0GG_7gfjN2ABuilqPgLAmkCEAx_3KUGSB6X8AeX4kY4D4MkCRvzRTKsIrxNymgc6hNhgYZnNtZy3XPBX5zDqKGULAaPaTzI/s200/P1010001.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmJgEh8UdFiaVYciv_mJ5n_TzmTrqaFFzprosgp_PWlW-_HnZJ3gwQlnmkSika1WiyCqBv9tEvoPV_3MBs76ZwMEObQ5MIwf0PvY3Jtc05ZoWW05rxAYf2v0r2zAUJph5fvL-6h0diBSk/s1600-h/P1010001-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249975408469080706" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmJgEh8UdFiaVYciv_mJ5n_TzmTrqaFFzprosgp_PWlW-_HnZJ3gwQlnmkSika1WiyCqBv9tEvoPV_3MBs76ZwMEObQ5MIwf0PvY3Jtc05ZoWW05rxAYf2v0r2zAUJph5fvL-6h0diBSk/s200/P1010001-1.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><div><br /></div><div>Transversing on Chesapeake Bay is about dodging crab pots and oyster/clam lines.

What a great city. We stayed right downtown at the City Docks. It was beautiful and a great place for people watching. They watched us and we watched the people in the park. We went shopping, toured the Naval Academy, and had some great seafood dinners. The Naval Academy was very interesting.<br /><br />On our way across the Bay, we passed the long Chesapeake Bay bridge and cut through a sail boat race in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected"

This was a little challenging for me with the narrow streets and the amount of traffic and pedestrians. After a couple of falls and some black and blue marks, the klutz (me) survived. As usual Bill was on top of his game. I have now gotten much better with some practice. I had not been on a bike in traffic for over 30 years and I am not as young and flexible as I used to be.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Harbor was a great place for picture taking... people, boats,

Again we crossed the Chesapeake Bay... but continuing southward, dodging more crab pots... St. Michaels has another nice Martime Museum that we toured. St. Michaels is a very popular crusing spot and has lots of very nice shops. Many very large mega yachts cruise there. While there we saw several 70-100 foot boats and one 130 ft vessel.

We saw many fishermen along the way. The Solomon Islands was also another good place to visit... good food, nice marina, museums, tall ships and a very good art show at the AnnMarie Gardens. The Solomons are also known for their fossils.. The musuem there had a great exhibit of fossils over 10 million years old. That was when sharks were much bigger than whales. It is amazing how big the fossilized shark teeth were. These fossils are found along the coast all the way through North Carolina.</div><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQXeTdlvxVMuvSSXMZVOcZQa-MudMA042TbVV87bnI92ExQaU624awcoevIdIowwjZG9mCSzjGPPdZEp80z_duIewgD-y19C3NCZ-uSSBlURbSP_KKLPEuxVYrp_JWQ7qeJGHda8tOMN4/s1600-h/P9183036.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250046708465155042" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQXeTdlvxVMuvSSXMZVOcZQa-MudMA042TbVV87bnI92ExQaU624awcoevIdIowwjZG9mCSzjGPPdZEp80z_duIewgD-y19C3NCZ-uSSBlURbSP_KKLPEuxVYrp_JWQ7qeJGHda8tOMN4/s200/P9183036.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO16AQ5ukW-AmnQ6ev1-5beOSCUlD0Z8Ds3TCm7QzRWAfjk8AL5uqGXuq6CiLOgGC5qhxaWu_l8vitIoFE-hyMDdbXbjslMOzfuZfZbsA6ieAf6Hy7lLCcGHhp1u82Go5JHvhg1Mumrvo/s1600-h/P9183044.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250048508226344722" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO16AQ5ukW-AmnQ6ev1-5beOSCUlD0Z8Ds3TCm7QzRWAfjk8AL5uqGXuq6CiLOgGC5qhxaWu_l8vitIoFE-hyMDdbXbjslMOzfuZfZbsA6ieAf6Hy7lLCcGHhp1u82Go5JHvhg1Mumrvo/s200/P9183044.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV63phVqBnVL3-y4Im0lSNBlalb8kAiyWS0pVrqf2nS1pe1t_uxqec_DTRbN8XMxLkdyODWpNdDYjKFlR4_wGzIDi6yuXv870ARt7ML7UgFrfhVLEGxK8F6s1gzXp69MVMpLfg6ORZn7Y/s1600-h/P9183046.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250049175858100210" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV63phVqBnVL3-y4Im0lSNBlalb8kAiyWS0pVrqf2nS1pe1t_uxqec_DTRbN8XMxLkdyODWpNdDYjKFlR4_wGzIDi6yuXv870ARt7ML7UgFrfhVLEGxK8F6s1gzXp69MVMpLfg6ORZn7Y/s200/P9183046.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMyOID5X6q8DIaGV-SMRZEs_qVshjxbr4EviY8pKaBlCwA8NihicEP2fr2OauyRrnQFUE9yKnfLEAD5HV5kKq1nj63SaweWZOhyphenhyphenBA4h73ixKjzgl_yCsEqXoqMphJBj7iO80KNjcCFvTk/s1600-h/P9183057.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250049882108026882" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMyOID5X6q8DIaGV-SMRZEs_qVshjxbr4EviY8pKaBlCwA8NihicEP2fr2OauyRrnQFUE9yKnfLEAD5HV5kKq1nj63SaweWZOhyphenhyphenBA4h73ixKjzgl_yCsEqXoqMphJBj7iO80KNjcCFvTk/s200/P9183057.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgaWWepmB6EKaz0rg3IJgoSRkCJeAEfJ1nBv4PZez2fJ3TZU1jOuiHiwH9y4a66WN3PIEdZLvtdgYKf09rQWp-4IOsBeGrzMcGbTou-PZ9MIu20dy-8jKJ_p__BGtkXLUKzWKlavd3Hlw/s1600-h/P9183066.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250050570518223746" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgaWWepmB6EKaz0rg3IJgoSRkCJeAEfJ1nBv4PZez2fJ3TZU1jOuiHiwH9y4a66WN3PIEdZLvtdgYKf09rQWp-4IOsBeGrzMcGbTou-PZ9MIu20dy-8jKJ_p__BGtkXLUKzWKlavd3Hlw/s200/P9183066.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAPoYg9q4AyEZ06GDCAEqIlXpK6AenF5g7CCrpLSq8RteeGgZPbJdEYjX1gXaH7GAdbbV8OrLgkRPwm93kc-a8ebAMEAOLA__oKwJGB2s8N1chi-vpfFA9gahBP_bijb4TAv74J0owTEg/s1600-h/P1010001-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250051208362073650" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAPoYg9q4AyEZ06GDCAEqIlXpK6AenF5g7CCrpLSq8RteeGgZPbJdEYjX1gXaH7GAdbbV8OrLgkRPwm93kc-a8ebAMEAOLA__oKwJGB2s8N1chi-vpfFA9gahBP_bijb4TAv74J0owTEg/s200/P1010001-1.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvBTRxjbYYp7LpjglYZj4khmj8b8k_rNOafF8JBKFmFZT1OLRagP5ToN3NX9FpTQ1o-OrU2M3PECx0BiEOAyZtAZuHoJwHHvbH_ukoaUKRb2E-6dD90CD2a748GXcVTyQ2K6Po9k3k96k/s1600-h/P1010003-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250051513207781986" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvBTRxjbYYp7LpjglYZj4khmj8b8k_rNOafF8JBKFmFZT1OLRagP5ToN3NX9FpTQ1o-OrU2M3PECx0BiEOAyZtAZuHoJwHHvbH_ukoaUKRb2E-6dD90CD2a748GXcVTyQ2K6Po9k3k96k/s200/P1010003-1.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSA7tqIBTuV1W4pN-VcKJIN2RuAtdzcANBB63KAS13tAb79lHwdashOCF_W5wn-qNj7RINEHazSli8JAowLiOBth2CL-90MrtNarhJA_8ugm4U6KJsBIQnxs0MyZQ2NQBY0m2ybT4OBZY/s1600-h/P9183061.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250052620945645442" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSA7tqIBTuV1W4pN-VcKJIN2RuAtdzcANBB63KAS13tAb79lHwdashOCF_W5wn-qNj7RINEHazSli8JAowLiOBth2CL-90MrtNarhJA_8ugm4U6KJsBIQnxs0MyZQ2NQBY0m2ybT4OBZY/s200/P9183061.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div></div><div></div><div>The weather looked to turn significantly worse with very strong winds and we felt it would be good to head for a safe port, so Bill and I decided to cut short our trip through the Chesapeake and save the southern portion, including the Potomac, Washington DC and Williamsburg, for another trip.

class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Tarrytown</span> and headed down the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Palisades</span> to New York City. The skies started to clear as we hit Manhattan and Lady. Our goal was to reach Staten Island and the Great Kills Yacht Club. We spent 3 days at Great Kills and could easily tour NYC from their site. Great Kills was one on the friendliest places we stayed. Everyone there made you feel welcomed and part of their family. We picked up a express bus about a block from the harbor and headed to NYC for the day. We left Bill there with Bailey.<br /><a

the Atlantic Ocean on Labor Day. It was again another beautiful day to travel and the seas were fairly calm, however there was a lot of traffic and people enjoying their last beautiful weekend before school starts. We traveled about 50 miles and entered the New Jersey Intercosatal at Baranget Inlet. Entering the Inlet was a challenge. Lots of waves, surf, tide, shallows, and lots of big boats passing us in both directions. After we go in, the challenge was negotiating and followine the buoys through shallow, narrow passages. We traveled down the Intercoastal to Beach Haven, where we spent the night. </div><br /><div></div><div>At Beach Haven, Dorothy and George meet friends. We went to their house for dinner. The next morning, George and Dorthy left the Osprey to spend some time with their other friends and then get a rental car to head for Seneca Falls and their car. </div><div><br /><a

We are very busy checking out each town and site...<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><strong>Where we are today and what are plans are.</strong></div><br /><div><div><div><div>Today is September 5, 2008 and we are sitting at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Utsch's</span> Marina in Cape May NJ. For those who are following us on Google Earth check out this connection. <a href="http://www.greatloop.org/Mapping/membermap.php?id=5752">http://www.greatloop.org/Mapping/membermap.php?id=5752</a> </div><br /><div><br />We arrived in Cape May late afternoon on Wed, Sept. 3. This is a very safe and protected harbor on the canal between the Atlantic and Delaware Bay. Our refrigerator/freezer broke on the Erie Canal and we finally found someone to look at it. After replacing the thermostat, we were back in business again. It was sure good to get things out of the cooler and into the refrigerator before tropical storm Hannah comes our way.</div><div></div><br /><div>Again, today is warm, sunny and beautiful and we are preparing for Hannah's arrival. We are doubling lines and putting out extra <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">buoys</span>. The weather predicts we will get the storm late tonight with 5-7 inches of rain and winds around 50-60 mph. It is expected to be a quick storm, but it should be quite the experience.</div><div></div><br /><div>If the weather and winds are right, we are planning on leaving this harbor and head up the Delaware Bay/River and into the Chesapeake/<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Delaware</span> Canal to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Chesapeake</span> City. Then next week we will start cruising <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Chesapeake</span> Bay.<br /></div><br /><div><strong>What has happened on our adventure since we restarted on August 15</strong></div><br /><div>This update is a little long since I am updating about 3 weeks. I will break the trip into 2 segments, starting with the Erie Canal, followed by the Hudson to Cape May. We have been very busy with the local sites and activities and I have not had a moment to spend on the PC. I wonder how one can be so busy when retired......</div><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div></div><div><strong>ERIE CANAL</strong><br />After a couple of weeks at home in Hamilton, Ohio.... we restarted our adventure. Picking up the boat at Inland Harbor Marina, we meet again with friends and family in Seneca Falls on August 14... </div><div></div><br /><div>George and Dorothy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Najarian</span>, our friends from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Waukegan</span> Harbor, IL, met us in Seneca Falls on August 15 to begin the trip. But before we could start we needed to show them around our wonderful area in upstate NY. They meet our friends and family, went to wineries, visited an art show, had great Italian dinners with friends, traveled to State Parks, and hiked the Montezuma trails to the original Erie Canal <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Aqueduct</span>. Not everyone gets that kind of tour in 2 days. After we <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">exhausted</span> them, we started the trip down the Erie, with more visits with Bill and Barb <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Reigel</span> in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Baldswinsville</span> and Jan and Brian Carey in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Brewertown</span>. Wonderful food and fun at each stop.</div><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiunil1uSlQfF5fYPjeTi2kcZsDm0txppKB0-_c6xRFZ-n-UB2Sv5GvzYG-vIBjYUUjqVgW-0gpDq8BsVY0IyTl-xH1ZQ4W9aebeKC5xshfwQ0AYc-kZnFj0YdOdn5HOk2oJHXRk6yHPFY/s1600-h/P8172019.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240775137578376450" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiunil1uSlQfF5fYPjeTi2kcZsDm0txppKB0-_c6xRFZ-n-UB2Sv5GvzYG-vIBjYUUjqVgW-0gpDq8BsVY0IyTl-xH1ZQ4W9aebeKC5xshfwQ0AYc-kZnFj0YdOdn5HOk2oJHXRk6yHPFY/s200/P8172019.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_BtPJHVslwTONKjKLXcA3hvIhYcPu8e1sDNlnKp6L7dlsQzLDtYHHA7awmyy4VJKZnEZ9N60tVMXIlfkYDgnDw_l1slhDHQq8DrNt-Qhyphenhyphen3lGu2kCEiO8yM9PWCc4Y75E6QDkFMGTjmjQ/s1600-h/P1010118-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241533880983834994" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_BtPJHVslwTONKjKLXcA3hvIhYcPu8e1sDNlnKp6L7dlsQzLDtYHHA7awmyy4VJKZnEZ9N60tVMXIlfkYDgnDw_l1slhDHQq8DrNt-Qhyphenhyphen3lGu2kCEiO8yM9PWCc4Y75E6QDkFMGTjmjQ/s200/P1010118-1.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQE6Dhs40KSk9uOpPKYZaMv277OZqpoCa6Ik51hMB4-A1ziuDbpQxHDD3qmyKiTZf6LcCek5t4HQ_dff3eGJLnDRA5l_mU_ehxqPXvpwq8ktoqgUkd0Pp7IEcIDrmwaNv7M32qg4bgwJo/s1600-h/P1010119-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241534726844502498" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQE6Dhs40KSk9uOpPKYZaMv277OZqpoCa6Ik51hMB4-A1ziuDbpQxHDD3qmyKiTZf6LcCek5t4HQ_dff3eGJLnDRA5l_mU_ehxqPXvpwq8ktoqgUkd0Pp7IEcIDrmwaNv7M32qg4bgwJo/s200/P1010119-1.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxUJmtYwINlb6d3VHl1IT74ERr3LaxWU8nER6tyqTv7f0gmeNmmMv03ODcPf2EVmtWlFwP7I4n248BELDsgigYWZ4V64UjgAKO6pKQYMc8P9IcePEEwLZxri_n18VihN-Xlo-rcgfZF9A/s1600-h/P8172025.JPG"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_P9dIDCs8aoLmk80gHboVqcuS6EQm44euFCGvmJize7rMFMMuNh3OOPmv5U3fWHpu3PsCkL5CH9ZLliulLU36rK3pvQfUqFKaMbceUBGs0B25S-acAUF6p2TfoQPkUdZWlcJ6nXeO1Y8/s1600-h/P8172043.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240778261778805042" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_P9dIDCs8aoLmk80gHboVqcuS6EQm44euFCGvmJize7rMFMMuNh3OOPmv5U3fWHpu3PsCkL5CH9ZLliulLU36rK3pvQfUqFKaMbceUBGs0B25S-acAUF6p2TfoQPkUdZWlcJ6nXeO1Y8/s200/P8172043.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZBdbd8wRzWrGmcmSdTnkBEVBNW0U0oQclneyg78vBPCy1HjqmnbbV0xc1dr4z5snnjxKEyZ5CDqFr7Td4V6UwarvHTe2UlINpaJwXt2oKHgHAtGmK4tbv9HMQOBYSH-PuKAvnOatyiSI/s1600-h/P1010101-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241530294587726450" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZBdbd8wRzWrGmcmSdTnkBEVBNW0U0oQclneyg78vBPCy1HjqmnbbV0xc1dr4z5snnjxKEyZ5CDqFr7Td4V6UwarvHTe2UlINpaJwXt2oKHgHAtGmK4tbv9HMQOBYSH-PuKAvnOatyiSI/s200/P1010101-1.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggbPDiFhsn4gjCz3yq33rpFXeiL2lWqOSktIGikPyGAktZg7qeyEBHjM3ip7uxSehdNKxJymzugRhyM3Qv7xPYTxXeE_w5m-PDerUVvK6Nes7HWVD1pVSWdOWWKdwnVv-2M9gsS5q3KCI/s1600-h/P1010107-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241531335082049874" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggbPDiFhsn4gjCz3yq33rpFXeiL2lWqOSktIGikPyGAktZg7qeyEBHjM3ip7uxSehdNKxJymzugRhyM3Qv7xPYTxXeE_w5m-PDerUVvK6Nes7HWVD1pVSWdOWWKdwnVv-2M9gsS5q3KCI/s200/P1010107-1.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbjqqXHrvvQNW0rCcrluTC02TEE126kwiPVAgzouh5jTwNqthkhyzDIzC40xB5lf8QOXgtMXEwJ0En1XYu3Fk7NjDyMJ4VZuO5EOTDUMRAw5vVoSEWAZZ1YDoKbX1A8AnfpUMUldwEp7U/s1600-h/P1010109-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241532213183147170" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbjqqXHrvvQNW0rCcrluTC02TEE126kwiPVAgzouh5jTwNqthkhyzDIzC40xB5lf8QOXgtMXEwJ0En1XYu3Fk7NjDyMJ4VZuO5EOTDUMRAw5vVoSEWAZZ1YDoKbX1A8AnfpUMUldwEp7U/s200/P1010109-1.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPbdrW0PNerIqCgY5WmEt2MhCMOwsPT1cnGmrI79wL1LHkpiJxq04MvXAIK2Smx5qV50DQYbqOCJq3XPzYKaicwym1mrOb3b3uZBW6nhceWxpkVwK_4SD146iimz-xMZX8c9DBvWTCiTU/s1600-h/P1010111-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241532796663849202" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPbdrW0PNerIqCgY5WmEt2MhCMOwsPT1cnGmrI79wL1LHkpiJxq04MvXAIK2Smx5qV50DQYbqOCJq3XPzYKaicwym1mrOb3b3uZBW6nhceWxpkVwK_4SD146iimz-xMZX8c9DBvWTCiTU/s200/P1010111-1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Once we got on the Canal, we quickly put George and Dorothy to work... Catching lock walls and holding on while we traveled through. They became very practiced after 20 locks. We stayed at many small canal towns, on lock walls and visited many museums and the Erie Canal Village, along the way. All towns and sites were very friendly and quaint, such as Rome, Little Falls, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Amsterdam</span>, and Waterford. Since the trains followed the canals, we also enjoyed the sounds of trains - commuter and commercial - during the day and night..</div></div><br /><div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixpUjExCs0T-In3_Ii4gA3daHs1BA7SRuDm-jPmXRMnUYgPSkIU6cp-JqrGmiB50vDihiv3KNnypO7ID_vqjhA6l32hf6eFPM6RC14G_aUnaIjXfm5Who2-LsXj69ZZEfnq36N0xXZCGs/s1600-h/P8182049.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240786035538735106" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixpUjExCs0T-In3_Ii4gA3daHs1BA7SRuDm-jPmXRMnUYgPSkIU6cp-JqrGmiB50vDihiv3KNnypO7ID_vqjhA6l32hf6eFPM6RC14G_aUnaIjXfm5Who2-LsXj69ZZEfnq36N0xXZCGs/s200/P8182049.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDaHfEVCP6_XTwgTf_kCUw0VnOlJ1CfaBns_YL38WNBy_c9YoIyIWdzOtpCzaJ35vdjcRoxHHwKpfemt82mXN4OOMUp38wG_P4Y8pvqok9bLi_rihoZNktAvi9tvjM3ufxbD2N0FPk4o0/s1600-h/P1010163-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241535869376419346" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDaHfEVCP6_XTwgTf_kCUw0VnOlJ1CfaBns_YL38WNBy_c9YoIyIWdzOtpCzaJ35vdjcRoxHHwKpfemt82mXN4OOMUp38wG_P4Y8pvqok9bLi_rihoZNktAvi9tvjM3ufxbD2N0FPk4o0/s200/P1010163-1.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2Z1JKEz2HB67VGJy1el4tZVL_uESQxRGbaM2cGWrN9WWt7HOrtqpAK5PUEEaNQOYRWImomeM8O1osYe_ZnZXojhbgpO8inMEjjB__7eN9OufDT1BcpJ-NK7L2hXjyghqyPposvUO4p5E/s1600-h/P1010153.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241536662562410466" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2Z1JKEz2HB67VGJy1el4tZVL_uESQxRGbaM2cGWrN9WWt7HOrtqpAK5PUEEaNQOYRWImomeM8O1osYe_ZnZXojhbgpO8inMEjjB__7eN9OufDT1BcpJ-NK7L2hXjyghqyPposvUO4p5E/s200/P1010153.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGd5qpAE9Veqd7Zmxb2xgcnRJl6QtAy9md8d8f6FlvuZFBXekmGm6MCqLwqxxwHOEPtwTdnizfIB2GGBJMmeG0y6UfsbAJQZpCS2mkQCaRVVH35L0F7qEl0fTDb4xlKrV87PqxDG-ubc0/s1600-h/P1010155-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241537586613018914" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGd5qpAE9Veqd7Zmxb2xgcnRJl6QtAy9md8d8f6FlvuZFBXekmGm6MCqLwqxxwHOEPtwTdnizfIB2GGBJMmeG0y6UfsbAJQZpCS2mkQCaRVVH35L0F7qEl0fTDb4xlKrV87PqxDG-ubc0/s200/P1010155-1.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXs-mAPbvCDXBPhG-LyF8o7tc-0OEgytEZoxjjSfR6w8p_yXwNFDBcIHlOA1g3g_BsAGKsXqVu5tPSfX_5l3rj7uj-c2RE3Xdc43yC46bwP6LbTUXn1yjTb7_pCuiSUh3YwyHaCGZ3JM0/s1600-h/P8202070.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242584516954028626" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXs-mAPbvCDXBPhG-LyF8o7tc-0OEgytEZoxjjSfR6w8p_yXwNFDBcIHlOA1g3g_BsAGKsXqVu5tPSfX_5l3rj7uj-c2RE3Xdc43yC46bwP6LbTUXn1yjTb7_pCuiSUh3YwyHaCGZ3JM0/s200/P8202070.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div>The Erie Canal Village in Rome depicted life in a small village along the Erie Canal. We even rode on a old packet canal boat pulled by a team of horses and visited restored homes. Very interesting to see and hear the history of the Erie Canal building. It was amazing that it took only 5 years to build the canal across NY state and then it was rebuilt 2 times. We stayed in Rome on a dock wall that night right next to a pretty dam and waterfalls. The sunset was beautiful.</div><br /><br /><div><a

Lake Ontario was calm and great for traveling and we arrived in Oswego Harbor at 1:00pm. After we cleared US Customs, we decided that it was such a nice day that we would start down the Oswego Canal and head towards Baldwinsville and hopefully a visit with our good friends, Bill and Barb Reigel. The day was beautiful and very warm. Seven locks later and a longer than expected trip, we arrived at Baldwinsville at 8:30 pm. Bill and Barb were waiting for us at the locks after we docked and then we went to dinner. We also had breakfast with them the next day and then continued east on the Erie Canal to Seneca Falls and family.</div><br /><div></div><div>The following photos are of the Oswego Habor Light and the

He had a setup which videoed and recorded his findings and we were able to watch his findings and hear his thoughts in real time. Luckily we only had prop damage. He checked out our bottom and the shafts and everything was fine. He told us the design and construction of our vessel helped minimize the damage. Two hours later he had replaced the props and we were able to continue on our way. We took the damaged props with us and will have them repaired in New York, close to our old home in Seneca Falls. Below are some pictures of our diver and the trip through 4 more locks.<br /><br /><a

Sorry to all who have been following our trip and wondered what has happened to us. I have been struck by limited <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">internet</span> access in Canada, laptop keyboard issues, and just a lack of time. One would wonder how being retired and traveling on the water could keep one so busy.... but it does...<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFirMcK8bR4HL-fLk1LiD9hJhZKn8hP6d-vY4bBQs4A7Ek0buRCUNobt9XhHzKJ7DpLIBkfrvHkfpHlFSDZJ_FODGCY5wOxkSo5SI6TjR_cHpfVpdYzIRgiQmaJftRmxpFmP8gqKrgG1g/s1600-h/2008+july+orilla+to+picton+008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230413145367239922" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFirMcK8bR4HL-fLk1LiD9hJhZKn8hP6d-vY4bBQs4A7Ek0buRCUNobt9XhHzKJ7DpLIBkfrvHkfpHlFSDZJ_FODGCY5wOxkSo5SI6TjR_cHpfVpdYzIRgiQmaJftRmxpFmP8gqKrgG1g/s200/2008+july+orilla+to+picton+008.jpg" border="0" /></a>I will be brief and give the highlights and pictures of our travels from Britt, Ontario to Seneca Falls, New York over a series of updates. This update is from Britt, Ontario to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Bobcaygon</span>, Ontario.</div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>As we left <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Orilla</span> we found we had a issue with the transmission cable on our port engine. Kyle McDonald, the GM of Hot Knots came to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Orilla</span> and fixed it so we could get to Hot Knots. Once <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">ther</span> we got that fixed, along with our 5 year charging problem, and our dingy motor... They were great. We also caught perch and got some great wildlife shots. </div><div></div><br /><div>When we left we headed across <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Simcoe</span> Lake and to the Kirkland Lift Locks. This lift lock and the one at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Petersbrough</span> are the biggest lift locks in the world. In Kirkland we climbed around 50 feet in a single lock. It operates like a scale. Boats enter both at the top and bottom and then a little more water is added to the top, causing the top lock to drop and the bottom lock to rise. Our boat reached the top in less than 2 minutes. In regular locks this would take 30-45 minutes. The pictures below show a narrow bridge we went through and the view of the boats at the north side <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Kirkland</span> locks before and after we traveled through.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpWGX3H-GkM-LISSJ39_i0OP2HkbWY1HJIfj9w_83hXt-3lbOQ2vTcgZi3ao3H9mLZBp5zAPb3bzcbUAFvdpVnUKts4dutqiKfv1sG-4bgynzVEUAZ7i0286QveLfWONMJufZXEHEFMbg/s1600-h/2008+july+orilla+to+picton+048.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230472077799013234" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpWGX3H-GkM-LISSJ39_i0OP2HkbWY1HJIfj9w_83hXt-3lbOQ2vTcgZi3ao3H9mLZBp5zAPb3bzcbUAFvdpVnUKts4dutqiKfv1sG-4bgynzVEUAZ7i0286QveLfWONMJufZXEHEFMbg/s200/2008+july+orilla+to+picton+048.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYdMJGgsjNTaJxFxbTQQzL0FlzxQVck47ouieC_NJTizXLArlK9t-WUHoXSRHTlsXStsTWgQqJ6lidSERtUcTxt72ayh_SUCbJNhZPLPaiSa-VIzKEShKODuvM3vU6vxrwfIwaFAmvoq8/s1600-h/2008+july+orilla+to+picton+055.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230470917023776866" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYdMJGgsjNTaJxFxbTQQzL0FlzxQVck47ouieC_NJTizXLArlK9t-WUHoXSRHTlsXStsTWgQqJ6lidSERtUcTxt72ayh_SUCbJNhZPLPaiSa-VIzKEShKODuvM3vU6vxrwfIwaFAmvoq8/s200/2008+july+orilla+to+picton+055.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6dH7VxYOdeikA6Aa3rtNcFF55YBlOkyL8EfhG9dQ5VeFLEwZtCP67u_a6Ksr9FJ79EYb9kqpkHDZsLcNdVi_tgllVwF3tlYdS_Bz9OwonJf7fuuaDNSG3HHiDgpMbXo3PRhKvyj6zFqI/s1600-h/2008+july+orilla+to+picton+062.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230473961412852882" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6dH7VxYOdeikA6Aa3rtNcFF55YBlOkyL8EfhG9dQ5VeFLEwZtCP67u_a6Ksr9FJ79EYb9kqpkHDZsLcNdVi_tgllVwF3tlYdS_Bz9OwonJf7fuuaDNSG3HHiDgpMbXo3PRhKvyj6zFqI/s200/2008+july+orilla+to+picton+062.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>We spent the night at the Kirkland Locks and traveled to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Bobcaygon</span>, Ontario Locks to spend the weekend.

Terry and Linda Brooks left on July 4th. Unfortunately they had family and job commitments that needed their attention. We sure had a great time with them while on board. The photo was taken on July 4th in Orilla, Ontario just before they left.<br /><div><br /><br /> </div><div>For those that are checking us out on Google Earth, we are at <strong>44 36'.774N 079 24' .724W...</strong></div><br /><div></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLMw-EXDOOq3Aq5VeNFseA0qOw4WkpqOTjAaaJJFkDNMdSCKIC59KENrW9MyrWvahYLazNJZCq1fQkVHXbPy3CykLP22DvopbPZ6oHhUzcn0_Fg5XkQz4-pePewbyW4NGLtYlHZ2bWupo/s1600-h/2008+july+linda+brooks+to+orilla+on+the+trent+006.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219910537416600946" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLMw-EXDOOq3Aq5VeNFseA0qOw4WkpqOTjAaaJJFkDNMdSCKIC59KENrW9MyrWvahYLazNJZCq1fQkVHXbPy3CykLP22DvopbPZ6oHhUzcn0_Fg5XkQz4-pePewbyW4NGLtYlHZ2bWupo/s200/2008+july+linda+brooks+to+orilla+on+the+trent+006.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6893xo6IiOpZyZ8bEEvdLT2PvgdhjgVj0hqdoEbVkhdc8cKEDz_OCgaxDFhRE52SO5rPR9K4Lqyk88Xn_JxB3wZ6Je-nt4iy1oFWyqNSEbI2VeMfplt6gNZY4cV0-WuNLwZ1tsQ7Jvkg/s1600-h/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219906232320778130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6893xo6IiOpZyZ8bEEvdLT2PvgdhjgVj0hqdoEbVkhdc8cKEDz_OCgaxDFhRE52SO5rPR9K4Lqyk88Xn_JxB3wZ6Je-nt4iy1oFWyqNSEbI2VeMfplt6gNZY4cV0-WuNLwZ1tsQ7Jvkg/s200/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+001.jpg" border="0" /></a>We left our last installment in the small town of Britt in Georgian Bay. We ended up spending 4 nights in that village. We had good meals - on the boat and at local establishments. We sure do not have any problem finding ice cream spots. The boys had a chance to do fishing - on the boat, on shore and on the dingy. Byet Inlet has large muskellunge and pickerel (walleye) and their were a lot of locals out fishing. Terry caught a 31.5" walleye (over 10 lbs)in the dingy. The boys did not have a net and Bill had to grab the fish with his hands to bring it into the boat. I wish I had a camera on that activity. Checking with the locals, we found that it was not unusual to catch a walleye that large there. We had 2 great fish fries meals with that catch. </div><br /><div></div><div>The weather was still iffy when we decided to leave Britt, but it was time. We left the Byet Inlet and had to cross some bouncy seas dodging rock piles for about 10 miles until we entered the MacDonald Channel and Hangdog Reef. The Canadian Coast Guard sure does a great time marking channels and keeping their charts up to date. Linda was very glad when we got to the inside.<br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOH6-YEuZTFFJ3AQ3jLKynR0WZ4IGno9e3wrSy3MYDTLtiAv-t5xkqRHaYkwgTVE4Fduof9ccgCDqM0dfNEVUraE0c6j3PGcUSu1ExzGkucUMijq4hpTHDpOGB6M-1uoUyzfk_aR8Sszc/s1600-h/2008+july+linda+brooks+to+orilla+on+the+trent+160.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219915132321802882" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOH6-YEuZTFFJ3AQ3jLKynR0WZ4IGno9e3wrSy3MYDTLtiAv-t5xkqRHaYkwgTVE4Fduof9ccgCDqM0dfNEVUraE0c6j3PGcUSu1ExzGkucUMijq4hpTHDpOGB6M-1uoUyzfk_aR8Sszc/s200/2008+july+linda+brooks+to+orilla+on+the+trent+160.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219913403019868258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaEa5Mn7PpREmwwmjdmI0OicQG-R5DCWKTMeRWPN7yXjB6WwEPqw-EHoWd5_5_RsAKGreJxeFE00YHPp30_YRbcacOWoF1CnZXLF_-dFi9aFLacfISX1EhzgMbqvqx_tVchzcVqmMwUzA/s200/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+045.jpg" border="0" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO5Cvjk3CF_8Dr3EQoaZyuods-lDh81FnVeyL75269276LElAxyjxR6HL1q7acz6e6p2n-_FWNAr1JOFAddeHahj_xSYPmSWIVcQSXrWX7P5T15fdPsgEBHbmNN7_qBKNbkA8Rhknb4xk/s1600-h/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+018.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219912217588042706" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO5Cvjk3CF_8Dr3EQoaZyuods-lDh81FnVeyL75269276LElAxyjxR6HL1q7acz6e6p2n-_FWNAr1JOFAddeHahj_xSYPmSWIVcQSXrWX7P5T15fdPsgEBHbmNN7_qBKNbkA8Rhknb4xk/s200/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+018.jpg" border="0" /></a>Along the way we passed the Au Baril Point Lighthouse and a lot of man made Rock statues marking the way. The entrance to the channel was initially marked by a big oak barrel and then replaced with the Lighthouse. Once inside, it was a beautiful day to travel. We had plans to spend the night at Snug Harbor, but it was quite shallow there and we decided to continue to Henry's Restaurant. Henry's is well known for their fish dinners and will provide overnight docking with power. It was quite the place and usually hard to get into. It even is a federal approved airport... bush planes and helicopter frequent this port. We even shared our dock with a plane. Quite pretty and very exciting. </div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Jj709GQG6Jh6ZuBn11SGVv5ZtoA2nl43VVdMUKrWPkMo841jR-KYk0Ormseb9raYEZAepiha8KgtmiBoQIewHJLDx1JfQH9Z9QhTHWLjNK0K7OFrNuSUAknOnNXaH9fmcH8WLM8h6rY/s1600-h/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+113.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219923555376042130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Jj709GQG6Jh6ZuBn11SGVv5ZtoA2nl43VVdMUKrWPkMo841jR-KYk0Ormseb9raYEZAepiha8KgtmiBoQIewHJLDx1JfQH9Z9QhTHWLjNK0K7OFrNuSUAknOnNXaH9fmcH8WLM8h6rY/s200/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+113.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIeEkz7jBq8snFUv8NrtDph6a8dl4nDGTKaq65DMirUnE3RNB9qgugofhB9kmg_u7a6lLU6Lh3XfFP2M1rS1o0eHvrjGrP_n5QrDnPkYA_x5J9cfAkIJCRKaWYHpViDVKRoHOyfY5mZeE/s1600-h/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+091.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219921973791451906" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIeEkz7jBq8snFUv8NrtDph6a8dl4nDGTKaq65DMirUnE3RNB9qgugofhB9kmg_u7a6lLU6Lh3XfFP2M1rS1o0eHvrjGrP_n5QrDnPkYA_x5J9cfAkIJCRKaWYHpViDVKRoHOyfY5mZeE/s200/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+091.jpg" border="0" /></a> The next morning we proceeded to Honey Harbor and stayed at South Bay Cove Marina. It was a beautiful marina and very friendly and helpful. It was also another beautiful day. The homes along the trip were unbelievable. These homes were not only remote, but very large.

We went to the Town Dock and were berthed between two VERY large privately owned former Coast Guard vessels. That really makes one feel small. As usual, our Captain did an excellent job landing the boat. We meet a lot of locals and learned even more about the area. In addition, the boys continued fishing off this dock. This time the BIG one got away... We continue to see eagles, osprey, mergansers, swans, otters and beavers... There is never a dull moment... We also celebrated Canada Day in Pentang.</div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZAFyGRMGqa1830ebTGWej3XQj2FNhreAnnARfzkbtXEePwMRR2sFI8SLrTEbZQm1zCXAJN8ybSaBgn5pd1WS2qk-MahUy6pRDSEuV5rWaPi4INnZIdrpFchnQGrIKVyaJ5POF9q1EwV8/s1600-h/2008+july+linda+brooks+to+orilla+on+the+trent+149.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219935027193152994" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZAFyGRMGqa1830ebTGWej3XQj2FNhreAnnARfzkbtXEePwMRR2sFI8SLrTEbZQm1zCXAJN8ybSaBgn5pd1WS2qk-MahUy6pRDSEuV5rWaPi4INnZIdrpFchnQGrIKVyaJ5POF9q1EwV8/s200/2008+july+linda+brooks+to+orilla+on+the+trent+149.jpg" border="0" /></a> On July 3rd, we left Georgian Bay and headed to the Trent. As we left Pentang Harbor we returned to the Georgian Bay small craft channel towards Port Severn. The channel was narrow, rocky, and with sharp, quick turns. The buoy marked channel did not match the chart plotter so we all were on our toes. At times our draft marked 4-5 feet.... Slow and careful. Our white knuckled Captain again did a great job.... beautiful views and we made it safely.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj1LYWoP9l6U7znMgCmzetvvz2UakQ4pV9V2tZ7iEzBD7DR9Q464or2LEoPrlQYaONhtX5GSsZxB6pFWWhBRcQSy4W_GxIXN2063OrnWGZ71eWIah7QLY2R8VfRsDCz3LKjClnpRRLksM/s1600-h/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+206.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219942803902979730" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj1LYWoP9l6U7znMgCmzetvvz2UakQ4pV9V2tZ7iEzBD7DR9Q464or2LEoPrlQYaONhtX5GSsZxB6pFWWhBRcQSy4W_GxIXN2063OrnWGZ71eWIah7QLY2R8VfRsDCz3LKjClnpRRLksM/s200/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+206.jpg" border="0" /></a>Immediately as we entered Port Severn we came on rapids and our first lock. We managed this quite well and continued on to the Big Chute.... the railway lift bridge. Traffic on the Trent near Port Severn has been slow due to weather and cost of fuel, so when we arrived at the Chute, it was open and waiting for us. There was no time for Linda to escape and take pictures from shore. It was very different and also very easy. Being a catamaran, we just drove onto the platform and took the ride up the hill and over the highway. No lines.... No waiting....</div><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimKiKPY5-Lx4J_oHEyBtvNPz5ZWmSFE2l3MMAAzJDx6upoPUfXOu4MqRkmeM1aiHwozy30MKWRZ0NQje6oc48L8s-5gzepcavR_DyjYg8s5-g2l1AlAIePgaYOjQVIz8lUw10YZULPG_M/s1600-h/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+211.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219943909055251842" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimKiKPY5-Lx4J_oHEyBtvNPz5ZWmSFE2l3MMAAzJDx6upoPUfXOu4MqRkmeM1aiHwozy30MKWRZ0NQje6oc48L8s-5gzepcavR_DyjYg8s5-g2l1AlAIePgaYOjQVIz8lUw10YZULPG_M/s200/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+211.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPYQy_BkUtyW2wuJ4-KZPuhIGAU3pH_vI9ifNxmHbMsphCTlC_DKpjsi2QFAn8yvHpqPfBttkgapwkMNoIPOfNbsx2LBI1Bsok5QhuH3OJw08ZBid_b1o0EFNFM9t6Bk_h0_fx9w3RNQ8/s1600-h/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+224.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219949004273288034" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPYQy_BkUtyW2wuJ4-KZPuhIGAU3pH_vI9ifNxmHbMsphCTlC_DKpjsi2QFAn8yvHpqPfBttkgapwkMNoIPOfNbsx2LBI1Bsok5QhuH3OJw08ZBid_b1o0EFNFM9t6Bk_h0_fx9w3RNQ8/s200/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+224.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhpThFoE_ANVP28d1f-aWWoveBFkasxD3cmBDOdGoXS7wop1dTG14hXVctzMclaO-EP2TtfMinYQsrkopY0BVyb9MCUOaVRNSSqVkjitHfqYJ1TLzdoGYjY3pTL0PmQQTB1zEAZvqIdiQ/s1600-h/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+258.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219947755178111826" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhpThFoE_ANVP28d1f-aWWoveBFkasxD3cmBDOdGoXS7wop1dTG14hXVctzMclaO-EP2TtfMinYQsrkopY0BVyb9MCUOaVRNSSqVkjitHfqYJ1TLzdoGYjY3pTL0PmQQTB1zEAZvqIdiQ/s200/2008+july+to+orilla+on+the+trent+258.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div></div><div> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_JuL9zpLEANS8CMsuKJiVTl0FYk6mVcPzZ9qO65b-wYuH8QmARtb7gxwiHQPniPKQTzmIjvdXzWH_9Wa2Ul2xL1W48Nc51UA9HD9pBIi5hyphenhyphenLkGHiq0svo9yQo5aMIAaJZ0Kg7VeVoG1U/s1600-h/2008+july+linda+brooks+to+orilla+on+the+trent+132.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219951556743638642" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_JuL9zpLEANS8CMsuKJiVTl0FYk6mVcPzZ9qO65b-wYuH8QmARtb7gxwiHQPniPKQTzmIjvdXzWH_9Wa2Ul2xL1W48Nc51UA9HD9pBIi5hyphenhyphenLkGHiq0svo9yQo5aMIAaJZ0Kg7VeVoG1U/s200/2008+july+linda+brooks+to+orilla+on+the+trent+132.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Another beautiful day.... On July 3, we traveled about 65 miles and arrived at Orilla Marina on the Trent at 5:30, after having a very enjoyable ride on the Trent and going through 3 locks and the Chute. There continued to be rocks and fast water, but nothing like on the Bay. In addition, we also began to see homemade watercraft. Orilla is a very nice port town to visit. Als in Orilla we meet our first loopers going the rightway for the loop and heading for July in Michigan... </div><br /><br /><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBYry6rvcLH2YHzpAmbs8AZLwjmIXQDCnM5Wvs4rbuX1VguDH68xUpp-W3i4VY3kCTC3W3JlAHAlWb5zQb4dynBypjfzc6bTs7fLSZqqtqBdASEJiJ7jWzUKJ11TDvihaRlljfmvzl7T8/s1600-h/2008+july+orilla+ontario+023.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219954778741775058" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBYry6rvcLH2YHzpAmbs8AZLwjmIXQDCnM5Wvs4rbuX1VguDH68xUpp-W3i4VY3kCTC3W3JlAHAlWb5zQb4dynBypjfzc6bTs7fLSZqqtqBdASEJiJ7jWzUKJ11TDvihaRlljfmvzl7T8/s200/2008+july+orilla+ontario+023.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjlPT49h7HIQXKxbpXoSUsvFviTBdTdSRDEvKEk1737QxYvUAoTFnWtxZ5cJly35b1f5aVZkoU9dupRNiV7jvXQsybfuTO87whPRM6zJkjVugVVI1NMZJs_Czq4CAGbzPQpUiBjGtc6lE/s1600-h/2008+july+orilla+ontario+006.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219953874730778978" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjlPT49h7HIQXKxbpXoSUsvFviTBdTdSRDEvKEk1737QxYvUAoTFnWtxZ5cJly35b1f5aVZkoU9dupRNiV7jvXQsybfuTO87whPRM6zJkjVugVVI1NMZJs_Czq4CAGbzPQpUiBjGtc6lE/s200/2008+july+orilla+ontario+006.jpg" border="0" /></a>In Orilla, they have a falconer come 2 times a day to fly Harris Hawks to scare the sea gulls away.

Our waist lines would not allow too long of a stay, so Bill and I decided to leave on July 5th, after Linda and Terry left for home. We pulled our lines and tried to back out of the slip and encountered our first boat problem. The port gear shift and throttle would not go into reverse, so we pulled back in and called the Hot Knots Marina for help. They came right away and fixed it so we could get to their marina for a permanent fix. A small plastic clip had broken on the cable... We are now all fixed and ready to go but.....Once there, we saw the weekend traffic on Lake Simcoe and decided we would stay put for the weekend. It is now our plan to start again on Monday. It is hard to believe the amount of boat traffic on Lake Simcoe. I bet over 1200 boats have passed by our boat... Quite interesting... The Hot Knots Marina is also very nice and well run.

We found a real nice spot called Oak Bay that was very close to Fox Island and the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Benjamins</span>.

All were inside waiting out the rain, but we had to get our poor dogs to shore. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Mika</span>, the Brooks' special friend, had all the right clothes for the weather. Finally the rain stopped and we admired the beautiful spot we had picked. Linda and I went fishing with Terry and Bill stayed with the dogs and read his boat. Later Bill and Terry went fishing. We had a couple of hits, but mostly enjoyed the views and looking for eagles and beavers. The sunset was beautiful and the early morning sunrise brought a loon close to our boat.</div><br /><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTnJia-WabHPKlkmHT8NlSbfKHu6D_kaSVJOlWNXtfoI8VTEGWuvsGZ6AdT-UbqE-H8_xQoV_A6_lWNyy-pgQ6jaE3YMlXqGQUwD3Jd8FzDYXRAWJRquHn8xmwaHmUelMNp_kmgSYEUrk/s1600-h/2008+June+27+Blind+River+to+Britt,+Georgian+Bay+134.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216964219456866866" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTnJia-WabHPKlkmHT8NlSbfKHu6D_kaSVJOlWNXtfoI8VTEGWuvsGZ6AdT-UbqE-H8_xQoV_A6_lWNyy-pgQ6jaE3YMlXqGQUwD3Jd8FzDYXRAWJRquHn8xmwaHmUelMNp_kmgSYEUrk/s200/2008+June+27+Blind+River+to+Britt,+Georgian+Bay+134.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivjqMxzJrY5It5Zc91nJF9xDf2i8xZcNigHJdJDIDmuru7pwYdaZFvk96xmLfeuDsalBSAyASD5dZwN03LYK1Mqd5R311y_1PBzwZI7cN2w4Fv6c5zYQJu3ap-bvZKmtmjj4Aqe52VoVQ/s1600-h/2008+June+27+Blind+River+to+Britt,+Georgian+Bay+038.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216962674121581106" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivjqMxzJrY5It5Zc91nJF9xDf2i8xZcNigHJdJDIDmuru7pwYdaZFvk96xmLfeuDsalBSAyASD5dZwN03LYK1Mqd5R311y_1PBzwZI7cN2w4Fv6c5zYQJu3ap-bvZKmtmjj4Aqe52VoVQ/s200/2008+June+27+Blind+River+to+Britt,+Georgian+Bay+038.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div><br />We awoke to a beautiful, sunny morning, with no wind.

We had a beautiful day traveling from Fish Creek to Washington Island (Detroit Harbor). We borrowed the harbor car and toured the island... The highlights in Detroit Harbor were sandwiches at the Albatross, steaks at the Shipyard and a beautiful sunset on Father's Day... June 15. The next morning we awoke to rainy skies and west wind. We decided to make the Lake Michigan crossing and it was a good decision. The Lake was smooth and the crossing was easy. It was a short trip for George... he saw the beginning and end... but slept through the rest..

All had a great cruise under exciting weather conditions.<br /><br /></div><div><div><div><div><div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdfFPeN0c5dpYfM9hmrU_4YSz5SEPCl2RroVjTxOSc4JslZOBYf1RnJwNd2i4DPJBSWIfw9oipI-xMidbg9eQLxoOX8BnKXLIwNW6b0QN0t9Mp495u1X5bA-Jxy5EpQ7oruqXMsJ4Y56I/s1600-h/2008+June+Linda+Brooks+Pictures+1+161.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214857562147791730" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdfFPeN0c5dpYfM9hmrU_4YSz5SEPCl2RroVjTxOSc4JslZOBYf1RnJwNd2i4DPJBSWIfw9oipI-xMidbg9eQLxoOX8BnKXLIwNW6b0QN0t9Mp495u1X5bA-Jxy5EpQ7oruqXMsJ4Y56I/s200/2008+June+Linda+Brooks+Pictures+1+161.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVIORzjBwa2N7gjm5C4nob0QH5NeTe3vp9A3ZYYN4LlYhj_mHyTbNkggPX6VHjLIYHk3rgpjZ0OZ-wgb8EXg7kNJl27O8ipWXT7eYVaJzNL-lD9QMd7PXSFNUUcXs7ON8r7eCK6yJn0IU/s1600-h/2008+June+Leland+to+Thessalon+038.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214820676678139250" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 291px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 196px" height="150" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVIORzjBwa2N7gjm5C4nob0QH5NeTe3vp9A3ZYYN4LlYhj_mHyTbNkggPX6VHjLIYHk3rgpjZ0OZ-wgb8EXg7kNJl27O8ipWXT7eYVaJzNL-lD9QMd7PXSFNUUcXs7ON8r7eCK6yJn0IU/s200/2008+June+Leland+to+Thessalon+038.jpg" width="291" border="0" /></a>As George and Ginny left, Linda and Terry Brooks joined the Osprey Adventure. On Wednesday, June 18 we left Leland and headed to Beaver Island. The seas continued to be flat but somewhat cool and misty. Once at Beaver Island, we rented a car and traveled around the island... It was amazing the wildlife that we saw... over 50 whitetails, beaver sign, muskrats, otter, mergansers, and loons. We also saw the Island Highlights - Large Rock, Huge Tree and Historic Lighthouse.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYiU34hWyjcliR87M0t68pK0Ulm-SI4RRup3e8mXTizStR7UkOVbnUueC4dY2iifjOW0hoPyZ-rdajnyWcptqpAkrdDTEWV0UzABNMTgq3JsUsSBozJB7zTp0XVUfEN1NyHI_1ZrW3f58/s1600-h/2008+June+Leland+to+Thessalon+075.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214822453602635394" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYiU34hWyjcliR87M0t68pK0Ulm-SI4RRup3e8mXTizStR7UkOVbnUueC4dY2iifjOW0hoPyZ-rdajnyWcptqpAkrdDTEWV0UzABNMTgq3JsUsSBozJB7zTp0XVUfEN1NyHI_1ZrW3f58/s200/2008+June+Leland+to+Thessalon+075.jpg" border="0" /></a>The next morning, we left for St. Ignace and the crossing across <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoZW0A9ZpT_Qt4dU3_B_Cv_17GsZ4YNb2rt_mgrZu9VfTjXXuSMRyoSUbwGVyNpLAroIsWbdmcCV_78VrXPUDWTUkKOtjaTJzFyWgyhlc0okxxTAKKmdm4EHa1GIpjqdfNXHly3NvjVL4/s1600-h/2008+June+Leland+to+Thessalon+088.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214823143394331122" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoZW0A9ZpT_Qt4dU3_B_Cv_17GsZ4YNb2rt_mgrZu9VfTjXXuSMRyoSUbwGVyNpLAroIsWbdmcCV_78VrXPUDWTUkKOtjaTJzFyWgyhlc0okxxTAKKmdm4EHa1GIpjqdfNXHly3NvjVL4/s200/2008+June+Leland+to+Thessalon+088.jpg" border="0" /></a>the Mackinaw Straits. The winds continued to be with us... Good seas and cloudy, misty skies. St. Ignace was a nice harbor and the weather warmed up and the sun came out. We were ready to move onto Canada in the morning.As you would expect... both Bill and Terry were dying to fish. They talked with the fishermen in St. Ignace and we put out lines as soon as we left the harbor. We got a Lake Trout and a King before we crossed into International Waters. The skies were sunny and seas flat. </div><br /><div></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRXOaPag8SecJv4yWiQpNrbVvXRT96DIcsLuIbCgqY_jcm9dUjoPbq6Zrq7x_uCuYOzYLWxniVvGMPiInflE8jHF7Abw8Bh0hC5szV0gvAfWC-h1Dt2xRKxQzYhV71Ch3cCjBzGMKPzkk/s1600-h/2008+June+Leland+to+Thessalon+121.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214853847317433522" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRXOaPag8SecJv4yWiQpNrbVvXRT96DIcsLuIbCgqY_jcm9dUjoPbq6Zrq7x_uCuYOzYLWxniVvGMPiInflE8jHF7Abw8Bh0hC5szV0gvAfWC-h1Dt2xRKxQzYhV71Ch3cCjBzGMKPzkk/s200/2008+June+Leland+to+Thessalon+121.jpg" border="0" /></a>On our way from DeTour Habor, we saw a strange site...

All four of us got on bikes and we went a couple of miles in search for the Outpost. It had not opened for Spring... This was a major crisis since the boys needed to start fishing. Luckily the harbor master, Ron, took pity on the boys and called a friend to take us about 10 miles to another small town - Little Rapids - to get fishing licenses. After discussions with local fishermen, we went out... but didn't catch anything that night, however when we left this morning we immediately started to fish again. This time we got 2 Kings. All of the fish we caught had 1 to 2 Lamprey Eels attached, which dropped off in the boat. The fishing was not the caliber that we became accustomed to in Waukegan, but it was still fun. Linda fixed the King for dinner... it was wonderful.<br /><br />Blind River is a nice harbor and the day is beautiful. We are all working on a little tan. It is nice to be out of sweats and jackets for a little while. We will be entering Whalesback Channel tomorrow and plan to anchor out over night and hope this nice weather continues. We have started to see large rocks and a lot of loons.</div><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLUX_7dRGT28r1ier2ft7WnhtWZRY7gJLKg-qsYIUVxj7l8eKWCYYRpwZMyZKauqUA6dZO_ujMu7miEqbrgLLpZIO2Q6vz_0Ru35oY221SXulslJxoCyA6KlZ8a8c2NFMDNySzU-FxzCE/s1600-h/2008+June+Leland+to+Thessalon+126.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214827149977677106" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLUX_7dRGT28r1ier2ft7WnhtWZRY7gJLKg-qsYIUVxj7l8eKWCYYRpwZMyZKauqUA6dZO_ujMu7miEqbrgLLpZIO2Q6vz_0Ru35oY221SXulslJxoCyA6KlZ8a8c2NFMDNySzU-FxzCE/s200/2008+June+Leland+to+Thessalon+126.jpg" border="0" /></a>AND we continue to add lots of excitement to our passengers.... maybe it is the ultimate of relaxation.... whose to say.... </div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div>Bill and Chris Gillespie on the OSPREYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08460840756110621661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422775790510930098.post-53264892589597426032008-06-14T12:26:00.013-04:002008-06-14T15:19:35.614-04:00Travel to Fish Creek Wisconsin<div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Well we have been on our adventure for 11 days and have made it from Waukegan to Door Country. We arrived at Fish Creek yesterday. Our travels with the weather conditions has been much slower than expected, however we are all managing it well. </div><div></div><br /><div>When we left Waukegan we traveled for 3 hours to Racine. It was our intention to make it to Milwaukee or Port Washington but the fog was so thick it was not fun and the weather conditions seemed to be getting worse and not better. We ended up staying in Racine for 5 days until we could get out. We experienced heavy fog for 2 days, then tornado warnings, heavy winds and rain for the next 2 days. Over 9 inches of rain fell. However Racine was a great harbor to be delayed in. Good eating - inboard and off board - and a lot of very friendly people.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMDsln6hHBatkHCE9kyiwdTD1pOuWvX2HSxlai496SFzS36X2-UrnsfQq5zwop-B9z9Tb1rqu4wvZ8P0qKGjrPQTkW0_mJM4WE2XYSbP6HKDnTcrf9jIPFOgpHbF8nbQ2WFW5VqeVqFwc/s1600-h/2008+june+wauk+to+sturgeon+bay+083.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211786485338010498" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMDsln6hHBatkHCE9kyiwdTD1pOuWvX2HSxlai496SFzS36X2-UrnsfQq5zwop-B9z9Tb1rqu4wvZ8P0qKGjrPQTkW0_mJM4WE2XYSbP6HKDnTcrf9jIPFOgpHbF8nbQ2WFW5VqeVqFwc/s320/2008+june+wauk+to+sturgeon+bay+083.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>We had a lot of time for reading, resting, relaxing and eating....</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEims3ELUI6HAg9ZOa6QY-MbADiq9AuGxlPC3dLHSOrWTFD_f-IPwZeuv6pIPmYnpduBIHPJZVd4McmXfYDd_ExV92MNPa0aigwj_iPvGZpiRHvHm5u_GXnqrnSTzEWBjyg_GLodWOUEJR8/s1600-h/2008+june+wauk+to+sturgeon+bay+008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211781065485942818" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 272px" height="46" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEims3ELUI6HAg9ZOa6QY-MbADiq9AuGxlPC3dLHSOrWTFD_f-IPwZeuv6pIPmYnpduBIHPJZVd4McmXfYDd_ExV92MNPa0aigwj_iPvGZpiRHvHm5u_GXnqrnSTzEWBjyg_GLodWOUEJR8/s320/2008+june+wauk+to+sturgeon+bay+008.jpg" width="320" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibSxMP4Gowa4ho_9mcbXgY7QLqnBxUSYT1Uk3NkRbYkBxpKI0f7n-vgjw_RsKkNJ0yegxgmilfiRwCmB9MxCZ9sobLWD1SrPB2V955RSQ5qfnGxVMKOfme5rjIGB-inopdLT5l0W4z4Ng/s1600-h/2008+june+wauk+to+sturgeon+bay+023.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211782507451873906" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px" height="273" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibSxMP4Gowa4ho_9mcbXgY7QLqnBxUSYT1Uk3NkRbYkBxpKI0f7n-vgjw_RsKkNJ0yegxgmilfiRwCmB9MxCZ9sobLWD1SrPB2V955RSQ5qfnGxVMKOfme5rjIGB-inopdLT5l0W4z4Ng/s320/2008+june+wauk+to+sturgeon+bay+023.jpg" width="320" border="0" /></a>We then left Racine and traveled to Sheboygan.

What a surprise.... Lake Michigan had 3-5 footers out of the south west. It was pretty rough and we were bounced around quite a bit. The short trip of 20 miles seemed to take much longer than 3 hours. We all were happy to stay in Sturgeon Bay for a couple of days and wait out the bad weather predicted for Thursday. The weather forecast was right - we again had tornado warnings, severe thunderstorms, heavy rain and winds.... Thank goodness the worst weather was a little south of us. Kenauwee had it a lot worse than we did. It was probably good that we left when we did. While in Surgeon Bay, Bill and George tried perch fishing.... got a couple of small ones but the pending storm made fishing a little challenging.</div><br /><div></div><div>Yesterday morning we woke up to a beautiful morning. Finally we got sunshine and could wear shorts and tee shirts and put long underwear and sheatshirts away.... hopefully for longer than 2 days. The trip across Strugeon Bay was smooth and beautiful. We arrived in Fish Creek around noon. It is just a beautiful town.... we have had perch and ice cream and experienced real Door County Cheery Pie for breakfast. The Wisconsin meat market brats are fantastic and the shops and quaint and full of all kinds of treasures. Ginny Clark and I have controlled ourselves in shopping... mostly looking. Tonight we have plans to experience the famous Door County Fish Boil for dinner.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiqr5ckadCw66yOjDxtMZeSiykJnzti7_47A9OyH6T_7vKE84lPUwN3l8Vv_HLQhfLXbkYaCKpJHt1QaSTT_kwC6QIVtKfAQ5QAViCudgSv_LFZ39Nr1qpPVjch0Y2VT6KHgYSf3obAmU/s1600-h/2008+june+wauk+to+sturgeon+bay+038.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211791928931545058" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiqr5ckadCw66yOjDxtMZeSiykJnzti7_47A9OyH6T_7vKE84lPUwN3l8Vv_HLQhfLXbkYaCKpJHt1QaSTT_kwC6QIVtKfAQ5QAViCudgSv_LFZ39Nr1qpPVjch0Y2VT6KHgYSf3obAmU/s200/2008+june+wauk+to+sturgeon+bay+038.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div>It is our plan to leave Fish Creek in the morning and travel to Washington Island.

Finally we are ready to go and are anxiously awaiting our friends from Cincinnati - George and Ginny Clark to start our trip. If the weather goes our way we will leave mid-morning on June 4. During the month of June we will travel from Waukegan through Door County, WI to Mackinaw Island, MI.<br /><div><br /><div>We have certainly enjoyed our last month in Waukegan... friends, fishing, family visits and trip preparation. In addition we have been lucky enough to spend that last 2 weeks on the new floating docks close to all our friends. They are great.<br /></div><br /><div>Even though the weather has not been great - still feels like very early Spring - we have manage to do quite a bit of fishing and Bill never came back empty handed... All our friends at home and in Waukegan have benefited from his fun. We even had our son, Jeremy, up for pre-trip fishing with our grand daughter, Avi. Jeremy caught fish and she feel asleep. </div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnvPJ_lw0_IC5XgyxyhTzfPcvJpBFjePGjFUQ2qxrcw9KnN2NBllbjhAPLup07b3A1WTyuB9kTz8UofbyRdfiQr_ionYh_zXJxO977TVV6BIbQ8Dm2cBtTorWcH2Q0ax9LCmEL9vTNLEQ/s1600-h/2008+May+Waukegan+058.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207462676541692258" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnvPJ_lw0_IC5XgyxyhTzfPcvJpBFjePGjFUQ2qxrcw9KnN2NBllbjhAPLup07b3A1WTyuB9kTz8UofbyRdfiQr_ionYh_zXJxO977TVV6BIbQ8Dm2cBtTorWcH2Q0ax9LCmEL9vTNLEQ/s200/2008+May+Waukegan+058.jpg" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207463599959660914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAS8tFwrNlOxo6OV0DwGWljdTMkGSKSO-3ykGckFDTm7ZGvYOwe8Y9a-WF7OF3B30xyT-pOI1UpaA7hLX310hp9EqU-HE0CvA50Ql5cmn3AAZGE0eIEFhHtiS26-ClQI0igz1i6zmOsSE/s200/2008+May+Waukegan+011.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div>In addition, Avi and I went to the American Girl Store with her doll - Molly .... we had a great time together. Taking her on the train and taxis was a lot of fun. We especially enjoyed our lunch and the play.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207464506197760386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo29HCJ02a7uVb6gUYRHQbvwWJdsxxdzookgIjBTyhTJSobRtNk_GtDdpod4N3CT1sqvPmGhinPXJ6zn9f7tm_s2ARmmj9WuOvzVW_jaJuvWcUlUXOqamGmwSYmkEZzaRzE1gklFxSiQs/s320/2008+May+Waukegan+037.jpg" border="0" /><br />Looking forward to sharing more of our travels with you.<br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div>Bill and Chris Gillespie on the OSPREYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08460840756110621661noreply@blogger.com2
