Trenton we stayed at the Fraser Municipal Marina where dockmasters Greg and Sandy took really good care of us. 200 gallons of diesel taken aboard, 756 liters, at 1.34$ per/liter; do the math...
We, Bonnie, parked SONATA on the back wall dead ahead of the view, between the two boats. The night-time sign is was it says, the entrance.
Lock 1 of the Trent-Severn; hand operated lock doors, followed by an example of the Lock Masters House at the locks.
We arrived at Lock 6, Upper, early so that we could remain overnight with electrical power. The first view is where we moored, behind the little fellow, and the next is the view of Frankford on our departure. We did walk down to the Oasis Grocery . . .
During our walk we came across a water hydrant . . . with a snow marker on it. Could this be why we are not here in the winter?
We passed our first white swans and her two young.
10 km/h speed limit signs . . . that is just below 6 knots, idle speed.
Sometimes this is the kind of marker you find in the channel, a marker island.
Flight locks, more than one lock, Locks 11 and 12, to Campbellford.
We arrived in Campbellford at the Old Mill Park. The park and the administrative building were just to SONATA's port side.
We were met by Dale Morton who assisted in securing SONATA to the wall and joining us in enjoying Campbellford. Dale is traveling the Trent and Georgia Bay.
The next morning, CANADA DAY, we had Rotary Club Pancakes in the park.
Glen and Jill Moore of LAST DANCE and Michael and Jennifer Strada of NOVA joined us for the pancakes.
As a part of CANADA DAY in the park SONATA was fortunate to have the kids petting zoo just to our port hand.
WE FOUND HIM!!! ELVIS LIVES and was found here in Campbellford. The fellow was great and we had an enjoyable evening at the free concert in the park.
The group that is here together . . . Loopers . . . sat for a group picture during the ELVIS Concert. Front row: Fannie Quigley, Mike and Jennifer Strada, Charlie and Bonnie Burke; second row, Jill and Glen Moore; third row, John Quigley.
From across the canal, from the Farmers Market, we first have the HAVEN with the Quigley's aboard, then LAST DANCE and SONATA.
Campbellford is the home of the "toonie", the $2 coin with the polar bear on one side. The artist that created the bear is from the area and a 20 foot replica is in the park along the river.
