Lay Day – June 26, 2017

The weather was really nasty today with on and off severe thunderstorms.  Bob had the usual list of repairs to do so Steph, Josie and I wandered around the town of Campbellford between and during rain squalls.  We revisited the last two locks, went over a suspension bridge, took Josie to a Splash Park and then did errands in town.  No specific destination for tomorrow, just have to wind up in Peterborough on Thursday.

The flip side of the giant coin.  About 10 minutes later on our way to locks 11 and 12 the skies opened up and we got soaked.

In case you want to know how the locks work.

Looking down from lock 12 to lock 11.

Josie and Steph on the lock.

Looking at the raging Ranney Falls from the suspension bridge.  Current is so strong that there’s talk of closing the canal system. Yikes!  Hope that rumor isn’t true.

Made it into the splash park – lots of fun for Josie.

Circled back to the boat – just in time before the next thunderstorm hit.  Lots of “loopers” tied up along the city dock front.
