August 16 – Merrickville
\n44\u00b054\u203258\u2033 N 75\u00b050\u203217\u2033 W<\/p>\n

Thursday we travelled from Long Island to Merrickville. It rained off & on through the day but not hard enough to force us off the flybridge & into the lower (enclosed) helm station.<\/p>\n

At the Burritts Rapids Lock we caught up with a group of 7 LeBoat charters. It was a pretty busy scene as some of the skipoers were maneuvering there boats to raft up with others in their group.<\/p>\n

At the next lock (Lower Nicholsons) we encountered a group of 26 kayakers on a trip from Kingston to Ottawa. There was a mixture of adults & teens in the group & they were participating in a fund-raising effort \u201cKayaking for Cancer\u201d. They were camping each night at a Lockstation along the way & having a good time despite the rain. A determined bunch, for sure.<\/p>\n

We arrived in Merrickville at 2:30pm & managed to secure one of the last available dock spots on the overnight wall. The rain had finally ended & the sun made an appearance.<\/p>\n

The group of charter boats arrived shortly after we got Santosha tied up. Time for a relaxing drink & watch the world go by us.<\/p>\n
