August 28 – The Narrows Lock
44°42′13″ N 76°17′40″ W

I spent August 24 & 25 at Upper Brewers lock & then headed to the Davis locks for August 26 & 27.

Davis: 44°33′47″ N 76°17′34″ W

Barely any cell phone signal at either location. Very quiet days for me. I cleaned up the boat inside & out & enjoyed the peace & quiet of each location.

There was not enough phone signal for blogging or surfing the web. Not much improvement in the signal here at The Narrows. Sorry, not enough signal for any photos.

The wind was very strong here at The Narrows today. I could barely get the boat into the lock. It was also really humid. However, the good news is that the wind was helping me cope with the heat & humidity.

Over the past few days I have met people from Germany, Australia, Brazil & South Africa who have come to Canada to charter a boat & cruise part of the Rideau System. It’s great to see that this part of our country has such international appeal. We should never take what we have for granted.

Tomorrow (August 29) I will head to Smiths Falls, pick up a few provisions & spend the night there. Hopefully the weather will be cooler.

Cheers!
