July 3, 2011 . . . On to Rice Lake and Peterborough



Continuing up the Trent-Severn Waterway we were met by a sea-plane on its way home, approaching overhead, and . . .






. . . landing and then all secure.



The beautiful Canada rural, farmland, countryside.



After anchoring over night in Rice Lake and finding in the am that overnight we were covered with tiny white bugs, we proceeded on toward Peterborough passing a deer enjoying his breakfast on the side of the Onatabee River.



Fishing must be good on the river.



Arrival in Peterborough placed us at the end of a pier, on the "T", just a few feet from the dockmaster's office and the terrific Karawatha ice cream.



Peterborough is a busy, active, beautiful city. We enjoyed an Indian dinner just blocks down from the marina, visited the bank to change more money, off to Canadian Tire, Staples, and other shopping. In the after noon the women of all ages passed us keeping in shape on the lake.



An afternoon shower produced some of God's beauty; promises...



Bonnie and Jennifer (aboard NOVA) plan the day.




In the park next to SONATA is a statue dedicated to Firemen . . . makes us thankful for our wonderful son-in-law and others that are in the service of others.



The Peterborough lift lock, we await our turn to enter one of the lift pans. The left one is down, the right one is up.



Jennifer and Mike aboard NOVA are with us in this lift. When ready the lockmaster will add about a foot of water to the lift pan that is up, the offset weight will allow the upper pan to lower and push the lower pan up to the top.



Rotation is complete, we are at the top and ready to exit . . . this is a view looking aft.
