August 2 – Kemptville
\n45\u00b04\u20328\u2033 N 75\u00b038\u20329\u2033 W<\/p>\n

We left Hartwell Locks around 8:30am & headed towards Hog\u2019s Back lock which was only about 30 minutes away. The locks do not start operating until 9:00am so there was no need to rush.<\/p>\n

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

Our goal today was to get to Kemptville or Burritts Rapids. As we passed through the lock stations along the way we saw quite a bit of boat traffic in both directions.<\/p>\n

We concluded that it was not likely that we would be able to get a dock space with electricity at one of the locks so decided that Pirates Cove Marina would be our destination for the day.<\/p>\n

The crew was full of energy after being on the boat for most of the day.<\/p>\n

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

Once we were secured at our dock Catherine & Barb & Bruce decided to have a swim in the marina\u2019s pool. I had noticed that after filling up Santosha\u2019s fresh water tanks that she was listing a bit to starboard. So I went back to the boat to resolve that problem. It was a pretty easy solution – too much gin & tonic on one side of the boat, so if I had a nice big G&T to level her out.<\/p>\n

After the crew had their swim we switched our focus to dinner. Bruce assumed the role of BBQ chef. New York strip steak & wild boar sausages were on the menu along with assorted cooked & BBQ\u2019d vegetables. The meat was awesome (so were the veggies – kinda \ud83d\ude42 ).<\/p>\n
