Port Severn


Well, we made it to the end of the Trent- Severn. We did 3 locks, and put on 45 long twisting miles. Tomorrow we will do lock 45, which is the last one on the Trent canal system. Fran will probably break out the wine! Our thrill of the day was riding the Big Chute marine railway system. They actually put your boat in a sling, lift you and the boat out of the water and ride you down a hill over land to the next body of water. Words can't do it justice. We are going to try and send pics, the lockmaster was nice enough to take our camera and snap a few for us. Tomorrow we head for Georgian Bay. Love to you all- Bud, Fran and Ray
