Overnight at Newboro

44°38′52″ N 76°19′6″ W

Today we traveled from Smiths Falls to Newboro but our first stop was at the Roosteraunt for a hearty breakfast!

We cast off about 9:30am & with only 2 locks to pass through were hoping to reach our destination in the early afternoon. The weather was great for this 30 kilometer passage & Yang tried his hand on the helm as we traveled through the Rideau Lakes section.

When we arrived at Newboro the upper overnight dock level was full so we tied up on the lower side. That turned out to be a good choice as we had Newboro Lake right off our swim platform.

We relaxed on shore for a while & then Yang & I took a swim. Amber cheered us on as we took our “best” dives off the boat.

No fancy moves for us! It turned out to be a contest to see who could make the biggest splash!

We followed up our swim with BBQ’d steaks, new potatoes & red wine for supper.

After supper we settled down to preparing some blog entries & Amber & Yang had the task of sharing their thoughts about the events of the day.

8月20日，我和倩倩度过了非常舒适的一晚，清晨起来，我们和Wally在隔壁的Roosteraunt餐馆吃了一顿早餐，我来加拿大这么久，居然还不知道各种鸡蛋的做法，Wally要的poached，以后我也要尝试一下，看起来非常不错，之后让店主给我们照了张合影，发型都没弄，哈哈哈哈，之后我们出发向Newboro lock。一路风景很好，天气也非常不错，在船顶，吹着风，一切都是那么惬意，中途当我们开到了Big Rideau lake。水很深，Wally教我如何开船，后面差不多一小时的时间都是我在开船，我也算是小captain了！这也是我第一次开船，不像开车一样，不用很紧绷，我们开的也并不快。差不多5小时之后我们到了Newboro lock。当时一路开过来确实还有点小累，所以第一件事就是吃喝了，Wally还特意调制了秘密配方的酒，让人为之一振，我们也准备了很多东西，像sushi啊，中式的卤牛肉啊，鸭翅之类的，之后因为下午的缘故吧，太阳也太大了，倩倩决定去船里睡一会，我和Wally换好了救生衣，跳到湖里好好爽了一下，后面我们直接把倩倩叫起来，给我们拍照，录小视频。湖水差不多22，23度左右，一点都不冷，很干净，真的很适合下水游游泳，消消暑。之后等差不多天黑，Wally开始做晚饭，是牛排和小土豆，我也学习了很多，才发现为啥之前我做的牛排都有些问题。我们一人一块大牛排，只有我把牛排都吃了，哈哈哈，Wally和倩倩的都剩了一些，准备留下来明天做Wrap吃～后面把红酒喝完，也差不多10点多了，接着就休息了～不过今天外面没有多少风，船舱里有一点点小热，不过都还好。差不多就这样了，明天的让倩倩写，哈哈哈哈哈哈～

Cheers!
