Day 108 @ Frankford Lock 6 wall, Frankford, Ontario

It was the best of times!

What a beautiful way to see the beautiful country of Canada! So relaxing and peaceful!

The entry into the Trent-Severn Canal System where we will do 44 locks most of which are manual!

Today we did 6 locks.

Lock 1 Trenton

17.6 ft lift

Passing under bridges as well as through locks!

I like taking photos of the signs in the locks. Each lock has a name.

Lock 3 Glen Miller

Our day summarized by time lapse.

Now it was time to find a spot on the wall just outside of the Frankford Lock. There were already 3 boats on the Starboard side so the boat that was in front of us all day took the empty port side. We followed.

Mark (Last Minute to Play) from Tampa – drove up to meet us for some day drinking.

Soon the wall was packed.

But we had to make space for Honey Badger. Nice docking Kurt!

Here’s a spot….. you can fit.

We walked around the quaint park and discovered a beach. Then others arrived. I got out my golf clubs so then the boys got out their drones.

I think everyone enjoyed hitting a few balls. Everyone except the Canadian Geese. And we all loved watching Kurt with his Dubai Drone go under our bot guard rails and through them.

Then it was Yacht Karaoke! This is the reason you should not day drink.

We were all having too much fun!

So we decided we better get food in our bellies!

Definitely a great time had by all loopers!

Teri is a retired CFO and Nick is a partner in a private equity firm. We are both very irrelevant in the business worlds. We jumped up to a 52 foot boat because we were in need of more adventure. We are on the Great Loop around the East Coast of North America. It's been a wild ride!
