July 28…sleeping with the sounds of water rushing and gushing over the dam was lovely…things cooled off and we had a most pleasant evening all alone at the bottom of the last lock on the Trent-Severn. We didn’t need to wait for them to open…so we were outta there a little before 8 AM…twisty, windy, narrow channel out into Georgian Bay…Blue water, clear skies, warmer temps and NO LOCKS!!!! We stowed away those short black lines and finally the fenders are back where they belong. Captain bumped the speed up a little and we arrived at Killbear Marina almost 30 minutes ahead of schedule. This place has really nice docks but more are empty than full…and no WiFi. A big chandlery, a convenience store and restaurant…but, most importantly, Hershey’s ice cream…imagine that! We were most impressed by the handwritten sign next to the dumpster warning about the bear and reminding everyone to use the t-bar closing. We’ll keep a lookout!!! Restaurant menu didn’t do much for us…and we couldn’t find anything to buy but ice cream.  So just chilled on the aft deck…fixed some chicken fettuccini alfredo…and hit the sack.
