Trent Severn Waterway-Fenelon Falls, Canada - 6/21/06






We left early the next day for Fenelon Falls. This is home to some fellow Loopers we met in Ft. Myers, FL, Norm and Barb Hewton on Beta Omega. This was another long day cruising but what sights we have seen. More miles covered and less locks to travel today.

As we have made our way through Canada we have to tell you that our arms are getting really sore!!! Every boat we pass, every house, with people outside, that we gaze at, all the people visiting the locks (each one is also a park with benches and picnic tables) we have to wave. The Canadians are so friendly, helpful and lovable.

People love to fish here. We have seen more people fishing here than anywhere on our trip so far. We even saw one boy fishing with a Canadian fishing pole... a hockey stick rigged up for fishing.

We arrived in Fenelon Falls and tied up next to the lock and the great falls that the city is named after. We were able to visit the Hewtons as they are only about a block downriver, on a bluff, from where we tied up.
