We had a good dinner with other loopers in Hastings and set out early Sunday morning June 26 to Petersborough. This 33 mile route took us across Rice Lake and through several miles of winding channel into Petersborough Ontario. It took 6 hours and went through just one lock, #19. Winds picked up Sunday evening into Monday so we stayed put and are leaving Tuesday morning for a day of cruising that will take us through the famous Petersborough Lift Lock. It is the highest of its kind of lock in the world. Hard to picture how it works and what it will be like but we've been told it is like driving the boat into a giant bath tub on one end of a teeter totter while the other end goes down to lift you up. Hmmm... we will take pictures!
On the way into the marina we passed through the spray of a majestic fountain in downtown Peterborough. It turns on every the spring, the stream of water shooting 250 in the air.
