CANADA O CANADA

On July 7, we departed Oswego, New York, crossed Lake Ontario (the first of the Great Lakes we would cruise) and cleared customs at a small swing bridge in the Murray Canal. We docked at Trenton ,On and prepared for our entry into the Trent-Severn Waterway system.
The Trent-Severn Waterway is 240 miles, stretching across Central Ontario, from the Bay of Quint (just off Lake Ontario) to Georgian Bay, with 36 conventional locks, two flight locks, two hydraulic lift locks and a marine railway.

SWING BRIDGE WHERE WE CLEARED CUSTOMS

AUTHENTIC CANADIAN GEESE !!!

WILD SWAN CRUISING THE CANAL

We cleared the Trent-Severn on July 19 and entered the Georgian Bay. We spent the next 16 days cruising the north side of Georgian Bay and the North Channel.

August 5, we arrived at Drummond Island, Michigan and cleared customs there. The water entering the US was a clear aqua blue with eagles flying overhead-a wonderful welcome back to our homeland!

We will spend the next few weeks working our way down the coast of Lake Michigan and into the river system which will take us eventually back to Mobile, Ala. and Burnt Store Marina, our home in Florida.
