The Water is Low in Lake Couchiching
Our Charts Show No Water but There Is
This Boat House is Decorated with Water Skis
Tied Up Waiting for the Train
Karen Its Not That Cold - I Should Send Her to Thunder Bay in January
Lots of Small Marine Railways in the Area
The Lock at Swift Rapids - A 47 Foot Drop
A Welcome Sign Depicting the Marine Railway
We Wanted to See a Few Boats Go Over the Marine Railway - A Canoe - What a Waste of Time and Tax Payers Money - Our Turn Tomorrow

Orillia, Ontario to Big Chute, Ontario - It was a cool and overcast day with light winds, it did warm up in the afternoon. We had to wait for the railway bridge to swing as there was train traffic coming. All the guide books say that this bridge is to be open unless there is a train coming but in fact it is closed unless a boat arrives. We stayed above the marine railway so Karen and Roger could see what to expect. It was fun to watch the few boats go through the railway.
