Moving into the left basin after the boat in front of us was tied.
Still moving into place.
Roxie supervising.
The left tub slowly moved up like we were in an elevator, while the right tub slowly moved down.
Here we are at the top looking back to where we started below!
More views from the top.
Here we at the top, moving out of the basin.
Looking back into the tub as we were leaving.
Now headed to the Lakefield (Lock 26). The plan was to stay above lock 26 however it was full so we made our way to Lakefield Marina....which was good because it was about time for a pumpout! We had dinner in town and to bed early.
Monday morning we left Lakefield Marina headed the Bobcaygeon Lock 32. Had a little cloudy start, but the sun came out and it is 83 degrees! This area is so pretty! Lots of small islands and cottages. Very much a vacation destination.
This is St. Peter's on-the-Rock church, located on an island. The first service here was in 1914 and the only way to get to it is by boat. Services are held here during the summer months.
As we were making our way across Pigeon Lake with a pretty good storm headed our way, an alarm started going off letting us know the engine was getting overheated. Bill investigated and found that we had picked up some weeds in our strainer and he was able to clear most of them out with a good back flushing. We made it to Bobcaygeon with normal engine temperature and the storm passed us by without a drop of rain.
Once in Bobcaygeon, we found that the lock walls were full both below and above the lock. We found a slip available in Gordon Yacht Harbor.
Tuesday morning, July 4th we went through Lock 32 and tied up so that I could take advantage of the shopping Bobcaygeon had to offer, including the very popular Bigley Shoes and Clothing store. There are actually several Bigley stores in town. I managed to find my very first pair of Birkenstocks!
