close quarters yet again
Our last lock in the Trent-Severn Waterway. We parted ways with Shoreline Traveler a buddy boat at the top of the lock. The lock was so small it could only take one larger boat at a time. Shoreline Traveler had lost their starboard engine yesterday and are only running on one. They’re headed a different direction than we are so they can get it overhauled. 🙁

The Georgian Bay, just north of Lake Huron, is a bit of a misnomer. At 5,792 square miles it’s not that much smaller than Lake Ontario (7,320 square miles), earning it the nickname “the sixth Great Lake.” With more than 1,240 miles of grayish-pink granite shoreline, it is part of a UNESCO biosphere reserve.
At the moment, the Georgian Bay is 55 inches above mean water level.
