August 19 – Crew Change & Poonamalie
\n44\u00b053\u203233\u2033 N 76\u00b03\u203223\u2033 W<\/p>\n

Sunday was crew change day. Ed headed back to Saint John, NB & my friends Brent & Rachel Temmer flew in from Denver, CO to take his place.<\/p>\n

Ed & I had breakfast at the Roosteraunt & then I drove him into the Ottawa airport for his flight home. We had a great time together & I look forward to another adventure with him next year.<\/p>\n

Next stop, downtown to pick up Brent & Rachel at their hotel.<\/p>\n

We got back to Smiths Falls at 1:00. Picked up some more provisions, had lunch at a local diner, dropped off the rental car & then boarded Santosha to begin our journey to Kingston.<\/p>\n

Our destination for the day was at Poonamalie Lock, only a short distance from Smiths Falls. Brent & Rachel had a \u201csoft introduction \u201c to passing through locks as we only had a single lock to go through – tomorrow would be a different story.<\/p>\n

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

Our timing was good as we managed to secure one of the last spots available on the overnight dock. We were also just in time for afternoon libations.<\/p>\n

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

When we were securely tied up Brent introduced me to a new drink – Tequila mixed with sparkling\/carbonated grapefruit juice. I must say, that combination gives G&T a run for its money!<\/p>\n

After we were refreshed with our drinks we divided up our chores & started working on supper. Brent & Rachel love to cook so I showed them where the essentials were stowed & let them have at it. The results were well worth the wait.<\/p>\n

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

Tomorrow (Monday) would be a busy day. Our goal would be to make it to Jones Falls.<\/p>\n

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