July 24 - Fenelon Falls

Bobcaygeon was nice, but pretty busy and a lot of houseboats.  From a cruisers perspective, houseboats are to be avoided at all costs, with your boat hook ready.  They are all great people, but they get a 20 minutes of video training and they send them out.  Mix in a little wind and watch the fun.  The tourists love it.  They get crossways in the locks and can't figure how to straighten them out.  And many of the houseboats are huge!
But if you haven't experienced houseboats, I recommend them as a family vacation.  And the Trent Severn is a great place to try them out.

Yesterday we moved 15 miles to Fenelon Falls.  15 miles is our daily pace now.  Today we're staying put, and maybe a little golf. Tomorrow we'll do another 15 to the lift lock at Kirkfield. 

We've done 62 locks and are about two thirds through the Trent Severn.

Patti is "practicing" fishing, usually in the evenings, and we're enjoying exploring these small towns.  Everyone is great and very friendly.
