Well, our target date has come and gone. Since I last wrote, the water level on the St. Lawrence is at a record high. Our dock at our marina (French Bay) is awash and the Trent Severn Canal is closed. Rumor has it that the waters won’t be receding until June. In the meantime the fiberglass work being done on our boat (that was supposed to have been finished last fall) is progressing at a snail’s pace. Engine work is proceeding on time. Our new target departure date is June 15th. By then the waters should be lower and the Trent Severn Canal will be open. We did manage to paint the bottom of the boat. Our plan is to rent a nearby cottage next week so we can pick away at all the small stuff while awaiting the yard work to be done. Have to say, it’s a bit frustrating! On the plus time we’re spending extra time with our grandson which is always a good thing.
This is where our boat normally lives, note one of the electrical junction boxes is partially underwater. The electricity will need to be turned off.
The dock next to us is awash.
Here’s Bob painting the bottom of the boat.
Inside, home sweet home! Engines are undergoing maintenance and repairs.
Bob deep into the engine room cleaning out the space where new batteries will be placed.
New batteries, a lovely site!
