Trent Severn

I’m tied up at the first lock in Trenton.  Next up is the Trent Severn, which I’ve done many times.

I’ve been on and off the boat the last couple of weeks.  One of my missions was to fix the bow thruster before going any further.  So I pulled the motor, and had a motor repair shop do a rebuild.  It was ready on Tuesday, and I picked it up and installed it, but it still doesn’t work.

At that point I needed water and a pump out, so headed down to Kingston, then on to here.  I’ve got my motorcycle on deck.

I’ll pull the motor again tonight and have a few things to check, otherwise it’s back to the shop. 

My goal is to be in Wiarton by July 3, two weeks from now.  Hopefully I can get the thruster sorted soon.

I don’t have any interesting new pictures apart from the hat, which I splurged on in Kingston.  It’s my first Tilley.  I’ve tried lots of alternatives, and had a Goretex OP hat that I was very fond of, but it was lost at sea in the Bahamas.

If any adventurous souls want to join me for all or part of the trip up to Georgian Bay drop me a note.  I have no scheduled visitors.
