A Warning to Make a Radio Call
This is Why - Canal is Very Narrow and You Don't Want to Meet Another Boat
This Part of the Canal has Been Cut Out from Shale - You Can See the Layers in the Rock
Canal Lake is a Man Made Lake and it is Full of Stumps - Stay in the Chanel
This is Canal Lake - How Did that Boat Get to the Dock with all Those Stumps
Some People Took the Time to Build a Inukshuk in the Shallow Water - The Seagull Thought it was a Perch for Him
Going into the Lock at Kirkfield, Danny Check Our Reverse
Looking Down - We are 45 Feet Up - It is More Dramatic Going Down as the Other Bath Tub Lock We Went Up
Gate is Dropping So We Can Leave
Watching the Other Traffic Go Up and Down in the Lock
Fenlon Falls, Ontario to Kirkfield, Ontario - It was a slightly overcast day but still warm. We left the nice scenic area and went into a long narrow ditch. Thank goodness there was no oncoming traffic in the long narrow canal. We walked around the lock and watched the boats go up and down, very interesting. The town of Kirkfield is a 1 1/2 miles away and no one wanted to walk with that high humidity. A grumpy older couple on a sailboat made it known that he did not like the three power boaters with their generators running at 8.00 p.m. and it was against the rules in the lock, as it was pointed out to him we were not in the lock and it was perfectly acceptable to run them until 10.00 p.m. We were nice and only ran it for 30 minutes.
