We got to Perth yesterday, in shorts and a t-shirt…left with long pants, long sleeved shirt and a rain jacket. Needless to say the heatwave has broken. The day was half navigating the 12’ wide Tay Canal and half being on the open waters of the Big Rideau Lake. We have three reference manuals, our topographical MacBook, our info book on the locks, and a general interest book about the canals and the towns. With the three combined we have decided to spend the night on the downstream side of the Narrow Lock, which is the only side that has power, tomorrow we will go through the lock when it opens at 9:00 because it is a week-end and on the fall hours and go to Westport…eat lunch and return by 4:15 to get through the lock again to be back on the downstream side. It’s a little bit higher level math than just dealing with tide tables.
Canadian wine and cheese followed by the local speciality for dinner, pork wrapped in bacon and beef steak. My fishing has yielded nothing but sunfish, but I still have a few more days.
