Fourth of July in Fenelon Falls, Ontario

Thursday, July 3, 2014

We motored from Bobcaygeon to Fenelon Falls cruising Sturgeon Lake on a cool overcast day with John steering from the lower helm until we entered the Fenelon River. We did greet Mary & Roger as they came in with Ta Ta and were glad to see them. No pictures, not much to write home about but looking forward to being in Fenelon Falls tomorrow.

Happy Fourth of July! It’s a much nicer day to get things done – sunny with a cool west wind. This morning was for laundry and provisioning. This afternoon we greeted several other Loopers and explored the town a bit. Here are some photos from our day.

Serenity tied up to wall, newly rebuilt with power
(they call it hydro in Canada)

Jake and Chris take a break on their walk. Behind them is the bridge to
nowhere - bike path but the bridge is always swung open for boaters.

 

Lots of tourists in town to visit the lock

Kawartha Dairy ice cream is offered everywhere in the region -
we love their new flavor - salty caramel truffle - great!

John takes his usual afternoon nap. Chris never sleeps.

There are lots of boats here, at least 5, which are heading west in the morning. We may have an armada!
