August 7 – Downtown Ottawa – Westin Hotel
\n45\u00b025\u203229\u2033 N 75\u00b041\u203235\u2033 W<\/p>\n

Today (Tuesday) my daughter Angela, her husband John & my grandson Levi joined us on Santosha. They flew into Ottawa from Calgary a few days ago & will travel down the Ottawa River to Montreal with me.<\/p>\n

Shortly after they boarded my nephew Scott & his wife Janice & 2 (of their 4) sons Simon & Jack joined us for a short visit. Full house!<\/p>\n

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

The afternoon heat was dissipating so we had drinks on the flybridge & enjoyed the surroundings.<\/p>\n

Photo above: the adults minus Scott – he was tending the bar \/ exploring the boat with Jack & Simon?<\/p>\n

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

Jack found a perfect seat his size in the v-berth.<\/p>\n

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

Simon is ready for adventure at the helm.<\/p>\n

Shortly afterwards Scott & family headed home & the rest of us went out for dinner.<\/p>\n

After dinner we walked around the park across the canal from the Parliament Buildings.<\/p>\n

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

I also spent some time thanking Lt Colonel John By for his achievements on the Rideau Waterways System.<\/p>\n

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

Catherine was headed home to London the next morning so she & I splurged a bit & stayed the night at the Westin Hotel beside the canal while Angela, John & Levi had their first night on board Santosha.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow morning the rest of us take the 8-step locks down to the Ottawa River!<\/p>\n

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

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