We got underway this morning at 7:45 and cruised 2 miles to our first lock of the day. We were the first 2 boats there and we tied up to wait for the first lock opening at 8:30. While we waited for the lock to open, Bob tried to catch dinner for us. Nothing was biting.
We went through 5 locks pretty close together before we had a break of 14.7 miles until the 6th lock. The scenery was very pretty and there were a lot of homes along the way.
A cruiser had caught up with us on our 14. 7 mile stretch. In order to get all 3 boats in the 6th lock Bellissimo and L’Attitude Changer rafted together in the lock. That allowed the 3rd boat to get in behind us.
We decided to stop at Hastings, Ontario for the day. We moored just above the lock, taking advantage of the $0.90/ft cost. We got there at 1:30. After yesterday we all needed a short day
