Back on the dock for another night at Jones Falls

44°32′49″ N 76°14′20″ W

Today was a small round trip day. My nephew Wayne & his son (my grand-nephew Jaden – aka “Master Boat Detailer”) drove down to Jones Falls from Ottawa & we took Santosha up to Chafey’s Lock.

Wayne was quick to learn the ropes in the lock!

We had lunch at the Opinicon, had a little tour around the property & then went to the local LCBO to replenish my stock of Radlers.

After that Jaden bought a round of ice cream cones & we boarded Santosha & headed back towards Jones Falls.

As the last day of the long weekend there was lots of “cottager” boat traffic on the water today. Anything & everything was on the water today. Even the swans!

You couldn’t have bought better weather for the long weekend in this part of Ontario.

Wayne & Jaden each took a turn at the helm. Unfortunately they had to be back in Ottawa by 6:00pm so they weren’t able to stay for supper. Too bad, I was going to dip into my special reserve of Spam & treat them to my special BBQ Spam Steak recipe. Oh well, I’m sure the Spam will keep ‘till the next time.

Cheers!
