We navigated
6 locks and traveled 57 miles today. In
the afternoon we stopped at the Hastings lock to do laundry. Thank goodness I
have a strong husband that was able to carry 3 loads of laundry for a
block! While we did laundry we walked to
the grocery store for some provisions.
Ahhh the air conditioning in the store felt great, because the temps
were in the 90s today.
We headed
out to cross Rice Lake which was a wide body of shallow water dotted with islands and numerous fishermen. This 20
mile lake led us to the entrance of Otonabee River. Otonabee
River snaked around through swampland, cottages and farms until we reached
Scotts Mills.
My traveling
restaurant served supper while Ken was at the wheel. At 8:30 we pulled into Scotts Mills lock in
Petersborough and docked at the blue line.
