O Canada

I'm in Canada. This morning I left Campbellford heading to lock 13 on the Trent Severn Waterway. The Waterway takes you through a total of 43 locks leading to Georgian Bay. Before I crossed Lake Ontario I stopped in Phoenix NY and Oswego NY, two towns on either end of the Oswego river and canal locks.

Here I am docked at the Village of Phoenix's Henley Park

We were here for a week, waiting on weather and catching up on things, such as:


laundry

 and

 sleep!







On our last evening in Phoenix, we were entertained by an Elvis impersonator.  A large turnout came out to catch his act.

"Elvis is in the park"


Before leaving the U.S., I had to give away my plant away due to restrictions on bringing plants into Canada. The photo was taken in March when I first got it. It had taken well to the boating life and had doubled in size.



Oswego Marina, our last stop in the U.S.

We had a good crossing of Lake Ontario. The first 2 hours were rough but after that it settled down. We stopped at the Murray Canal Swing bridge and the next day continued to Trenton at the entrance to the Trent Severn Waterway.

Please note that I will have limited access to the internet on the Canadian leg of my trip.
