5 Locks today in 3.8 miles plus 3 swing bridges
Nine hot windy miles in total
 |
| Next stop - Lake Simcoe: 6.6 miles |
 |
| Swing bridge sees you coming and has it open before you get there - nice |
 |
| Lock 37 - Bolsover: Lift 22 feet Note the headset - keeps the shouting to a minimum |
 |
| Lock 38 - Talbot: Lift 14 feet Distance traveled: 1.1 miles |
 |
| Leaving L38 - met two new boats from the USA |
 |
| Since the Locks are so close together, you travel in groups That good smell of pine reminds us of the mountains. |
 |
| Lock 39 - Portage: Lift 13 feet Distance traveled: 1.5 miles |
In the locks that lower you, the lock masters help you with your lines. Because the cables are lower than your boat, they are harder to secure. Stopping an 8,000 pd boat on the first try is necessary, so the extra help is welcome.
 |
| Lock 40 - Thorah: Lift 14 feet Distance traveled: .5 miles It was a tight fit. |
 |
| Downside of L40 |
 |
| Lock 41 - Gamebridge: Lift 10 feet Distance traveled: .6 miles Note the lock master waiting to help with our lines |
 |
| Yeah! Lake Simcoe! Weather permitting, we will cross in the morning |
 |
| Look at 'em go - our two lock companions See you down the road |
