Canada Here we come! Trent Port Marina, Trenton, Ontario August 9-12

After making it across Lake Ontario, we were having an engine heating problem. We found out it was a melted 6″ exhaust elbow . This was a part that we had to order. but luckily we got it in 2 days. In the meantime, we walked around the town and got to see a movie while we were there. The marina itself was very nice, nicely landscaped with new amenities and floating docks due to a fire a few years earlier.

The Marina was very near the Canadian Air Force Base in Trenton, so we saw lots of big planes flying over the marina every day.

We took a walk to the farmers market and bought some Butter Tarts — they are similar to miniature Pecan Pies. We also got to visit Larry’s favorite place, McDonalds with COVID restrictions.

Trent Severn Waterway upper left in Green — what we will travel for the next week.

With our repairs complete, we started up the Trent Severn Waterway. Our first lock up was just about a mile away from the marina — this would be the first of 12 locks on the first day.
