Overnight at Smiths Falls Combined Lock

44°53′47″ N 76°1′16″ W

Today I traveled from Merrickville to Smiths Falls. The journey took about four hours with no waiting time at any of the locks.

The lockmasters at each lock commented that traffic had started slowing down quite a bit since the end of the Quebec construction holiday.

I tied up in the basin at Smiths Falls, adjacent to the docking area for the LeBoat fleet of charter boats. Catherine & I are planning to charter one of their boats in France sometime next year or the year after.

Scattered showers kept me inside for the balance of the day. Things calmed down a bit around dusk.

Hopefully this will be the end of rain for a few days because I have some friends coming tomorrow (Monday) to spend some time on the boat with me.

Cheers!
