July 27 – Chafey’s Lock to Jones Falls

Overnight in Jones Falls

44°32′52″ N 76°14′22″ W

We left Chafey’s Lock about 9:00am & headed for Jones Falls. The mooring spots at the upper lock is one of my favourite spots on the entire Rideau System. It’s also a popular spot with many other boaters so I wanted to get there early so we could get a nice spot.

We were in luck! We arrived around 2:00pm & tied up in exactly the spot I wanted to be.

A few hours later all of the available spaces there were filled up.

Glenn & I celebrated our good fortune with a Radler (or two) & then we went exploring the area.

After we got back to the boat I thought that it would be a good opportunity for me to finish installing my navigation lights.

Glenn was helping as much as he could, but there wasn’t much room to maneuver. He did manage to photo document the critical steps for me.

After that job was completed we celebrated with a Margarita & then I put Glenn to work on the BBQ.

Cheers!
