July 12 – Smiths Falls Combined Locks – 44\u00b053\u203246\u2033 N 76\u00b01\u203220\u2033 W<\/p>\n

Today we relocated Santosha from one set of locks in Smiths Falls to the other set. We had reached our 2 day limit at the detached locks so we moved less than 1 km to the dock wall just above the combined locks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our friends Valerie & David were arriving today from London so we were busy cleaning up the boat, doing laundry, etc. to make the boat ready for their arrival.<\/p>\n

Before leaving London Catherine had picked up the graphics for the boat that I had ordered a couple of weeks ago so we decided to put those on.<\/p>\n

I had removed the previous owner\u2019s \u201cScott Free\u201d name & home port graphics before I left Goderich but did not have an opportunity to put the new ones on so this was a great time to get that job done.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I installed the starboard side & Catherine did the port side & stern.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After that job was complete we had a little renaming \u201cceremony\u201d with a little prayer & toast with Scotch to Santosha. We have had a lot of great adventures with her so far & hope for many more to come.<\/p>\n

Valerie & David arrived shortly after 4:30. After inspecting their boarding passes we had a welcome drink & started cooking supper. The house batteries on the boat were getting low so David took care of BBQ ing the salmon while I set up the Honda generator to recharge the batteries while we ate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After supper we went for a short walk through the park & saw that there were lots of families assembling near the food concession booth. A large inflatable movie screen had been set up for family movies night \u201cunder the stars\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We watched for a few minutes & then headed back to the boat. Too much action for us old folks. Plus, we had to get to bed early for our big boating adventure in the morning.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow is Friday the 13th! Should we leave the dock?<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
