Todays voyage was from Merrickville to Smiths Falls. There are several locks on the way. No matter how slow or how fast you travel, the lock masters call ahead to the next lock to let them know you are coming, and you and your two new closest friends will join up up at each lock to rise or fall together.
Smiths Falls is the boat rental headquarters and we take the opportunity to rid ourselves of sewage and take on more fresh water for our final five days. Although a break in the heat is forecast, it’s definitely not here yet. My pick-up truck is at Smiths Falls for the close of the trip, but we use it to make a quick dash to Walmart for a few items. The air conditioner doesn’t seem to be working well until I realize that six days before, the weather was in the 50’s and I had the heat on!
Dinner was pure Canadian with deep fried cheese curds (yes, the same thing that poutine is made from) with kimchi egg rolls (you can’t make this stuff up). Wash it down with some local craft beer, Calabogie IPA (which was better than the Confused IPA that I had in Merrickville).
