A beautiful sunny crisp fall day. The kind that is special wherever you are. We just happened to be in Orillia. Most impressive town yet. It has a huge farmer's market that is crowded. Marti loaded up on all kinds of things, including a bunch of radishes each nearly the size of a tennis ball.
We bid adieu to our friends and crossed Couchiching Lake and then got back into the canal and Trent River. We just made it to the Swift Rapids lock before they closed for the night. That lock dropped us nearly 50 feet. After that we cruised the River and are now anchored out in a beautiful cover on the Lost Channel.
Tomorrow we will complete the last lock and have lived the dream to visit all 149 locks on the Champlain, Richelieu, Chambly, Lachine, Rideau Tay and Trent-Severn canal systems. Probably not on everyone's bucket list, but a great source of pleasur and oxide for us .
