This sign greets you as you enter the Trent-Severn canal . . . Charlie was able to use the radio and make a "Security" call announcing our entrance and intended transit.
GREAT ESCAPE is traveling in front of SONATA through the canal.
The rock filled bank is close beside SONATA in this narrow channel.
Chart showing SONATA's route from Balsam Lake to Lake Simcoe.
SONATA's GPS chartplotter shows the depth of water as 2.3 feet . . . and that is with a one foot offset . . . just about a foot of water under the keel.
An picture of the canal from above.
One vessel either did not have a radio, failed to listen to the radio . . . nonetheless, we had to pass one vessel in a "wide" section of the canal.
Arrived in the Kirkfield lift lock, in the up position.
Charlie holding tight.
Bonnie's toes . . . a little rest on the high bow.
Don and Theresa alongside in the lock aboard GREAT ESCAPE.
Leave the lift lock and pass on into the wilderness.
GREAT ESCAPE passes through the "hole-in-the-wall", SONATA is next.
This is a "bunch of bull" . . . just watching us go by.
In this area where water is 8-10 feet deep, weeds grow up to the surface; this is a weed-eater at work, trimming the weeds down about four or so feet.
Bonnie helping SONATA check-in at the Orillia docks.
SONATA on the dock . . . where she will wait until we return from Kiawah Island.
