But just when I was reminiscent of Tennessee.....the horror of........another lock......today we have 7 to get thru....................so boat hooks in hand....onward we creep.....the maximum speed many places is 10 km.....that equates to 6 miles per hour................This will be a 9 hour day to cover about 40 miles.......SLOW.......but more picturesque scenery...and time to prepare lunch...............
It is amazing that the locks are actually becoming kind of pretty....................the warm colors of the doors as the water splashes happily around..............
I think "Lock Art "......may be the title of my new book...................................
Come on.....you have to admit....it is kind of interesting.....?
I named this one....."Artic Lock"..................
One of our new acquaintances from Campbellford....,"Frankly Terrific" , Frank and Terry...it is nice to take photos and email them to each other...you rarely have a picture of both of you on your own boat!Finally arriving in Peterborough we were "petered out".......so just got a late bite of dinner and will catch up tomorrow. We plan to stay a second night here. Do laundry, buy groceries ...and catch up on this blog 
In the center of the harbor is the tallest fountain in Canada....with bright colored lights at night....really pretty

The kids must be having a camp....as the blue boat dumps over......Jerry got this picture....
This is a breast cancer survivors rowing team..........pretty inspiring.
Jerry decides to check out the props for any live greenery.....and down he goes.......(kinda favors something from the blue lagoon?) Props looked great...yea!
A little excitement today ...as I was shopping...the wind blew the bike in the water...but the new boat hook came thru......Jerry was able to fish it out.............good job!We will be leaving early for what may be the most strenuous day yet as we try to make it to Bobcaygeon........................
P.S....We did not get many photos of Peterborough....but it is the largest city we have been to since Kingston. We walked the city, found the marine store, checked out the stores....and managed to do all of the above too....so all in all....it was a good stay....and day..........

40 miles by water, but only 8 or 10 miles as the crow flies! Look at the map and see what I mean! We must be a day behind you, as we are in Peterborough today, Thursday. We plan to stay here several days and hit the big lock Sunday or Monday. Maybe we'll see you at the rendezvous on the 21st?
