I just wanted an opportunity to give a public “Thank You” to all the Trent-Severn Waterway locks and swing bridge operators.  Everyone was courteous, friendly, and most helpful.  When we were going down in the last several locks, there were extra lock attendants to take our line and feed the line around the cable so that we could easily control the boat.  I didn’t have to get on my belly and try to reach the cables on my own like in the Erie Canal.  😉

We are here in Wye Heritage Marina in Midland, ON for several more days.  Lots of wind.  Lots of weather.  In the meantime, here are images I thought were worthy…

The “Rolling Stone” made of ferro-concrete years ago in the owner’s front yard.  Fascinating!

If I read these coins correctly, it only costs $1.40 Canadian to make a call.

Cost of a phone call

The Wye Heritage Marina is a very large facility.  Over 900 slips.  These boaters really know how to make their space their home-away-from-home.  They bring BBQ, chairs, tables, kayaks, bicycles and all sorts of summer time accessories to be available at their slip.  The Marina has picnic tables at almost every slip.  Wonderful that everyone uses the areas.  The weekends are quite busy.  Parking is available right at your slip as well.

Docks are like our back yard!

In front of the restaurant a dutiful puppy waits for her master.  Isn’t she the cutest!  She didn’t even budge when we walked by her.
