Sunday, August 9
We started the day by going a quarter of a mile under the Campbellford Bridge and into the Esso station just beyond, these are the people with the cheapest fuel on the system. See separate post for fuel details.
We had several locks in quick sequence then a two hour open run to the lock at Hast
ings where we planned to spend the night. Along the way today we had many osprey sightings.
At lock 14 they have this pretty planter of flowers in an old sail boat.
When we got to the big double lock at Healey Falls it start to drizzle, out came the foul weather gear. By the time we were exiting the second chamber it was a steady rain. We pulled offer to the wall and tied up. We relaxed and had lunch. By the time lunch was over the rain had stopped.
We motored over to the other side of the canal and out about two hundred yards where we could
tie up near the dam above the falls. We took a short walk so Steve and Anne could see Healey Falls. Diana and I had seen it last month.
We still are not sure if this pretty setting is a small inn or just a private home with an avid gardener. It certainly is lovely.
We have not seen many loons today but we ha
d to slow down to avoid this adult and young.
Soon we were approaching the Hasting lock. We locked through and tied up to the lock wall for
the night. Once we were tied up it was a short walk back to the ice cream shop next to the lock.
The Hastings Village Marina is just across the river and I can get their Wi-Fi signal on the boat.
Another fine day.
