We Shall Sea

This afternoon MY Jane will be driving me to Bobcaygeon to meet up with the current owner of the Four C’s, Ted and his friend Brian. Our friends, Harry and Rina, will be accompanying us and then Harry and I will stay on the boat.

Tomorrow, Thursday, the boat will be taken to Birch Point Marina where it will be taken out of the water and the hull checked as well as the shafts and propellers. I am optimistic that everything will be fine. After the survey, Harry, Ted, Brian and I will head up the Trent Severn Waterway, the final destination being Bay Port Yachting Centre in Midland.

The purple line on the map shows the route we will be taking. I am hoping to get to Orillia by Friday where Ted and Brian will leave us. Chris will join Harry and me and on Saturday we should be able to complete that leg of the trip. The one uncertainty is how long it will take to get through locks because Parks Canada has cut staff and now one team of lock staff is responsible for clusters of locks which will probably slow things down.

We shall see.
