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.
