Finally have decent internet access so that I am able to update the blog. We left Kingston and headed over to Trenton, Ontario. Nice marina stop with free laundry (always a plus!) and another nice, small town. Had some very nice meals, lots of laughs and good times with the crews of Lone Star, Moon Dance, and LeryLynn and met other loopers at the dock.
Next we headed over to Campbellford, another nice stop with a municipal mooring (wall) with electric and water available. I unfortunately caught the pocket of my shorts getting off the boat, and Artie and I watched as my phone took a slow motion tumble to the bottom of the river. It “sleeps with the fishes”. On another phone/ data related note, AT&T — “bless their little hearts” — is not allowing me to use the data plan that we pay for every month in Canada. I could have used it in Mexico apparently, but not in Canada. HUH?? Phone and texts do work, but not texts with any multimedia or photos attached. And, since I’ve lost my phone, my calls are now supposedly being forwarded to Artie’s phone — but I haven’t received any calls. Texts supposedly can’t be forwarded. The laptop will only work in stops with a decent wi-fi connection. Feeling a bit off the grid at this point.
Have seen a lot of locks over the past week or so, and in fact I’m feeling a bit “locked out”. Made stops in Cambellford, Hastings, Peterborough, Young’s Point lock, Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, and a bit of an eventful trip coming here to Orillia. We will be here until mid week before moving on down the Severn portion of the Trent-Severn Waterway and into Georgian Bay. Notes and photos to follow.
