<\/p>\nJuly 23<\/p>\n
Detached Lock Smiths Falls<\/p>\n
44\u00b053\u203238\u2033 N 76\u00b01\u203211\u2033 W<\/p>\n
Today I traveled a short distance from Edmonds Lock into Smiths Falls & then to the upper side of the Detached Lock.<\/p>\n
I had arranged to meet Richard, a prospective buyer for the boat at this location. Later in the day I would also be meeting my friend Glenn Webber who was flying in from Calgary to spend a week with me.<\/p>\n
Richard met me at 10:30 & we went for a short ride towards Poonamalie Lock so he could see how the boat handles & performs on the water.<\/p>\n
After we got back to the Detached Lock it was close to lunchtime so we went to the Roosteraunt for lunch. Look at the photo below & see if you can guess why this restaurant has its name :).<\/p>\n
While we were having lunch a local freelance photographer asked if we would pose for a few promotional photos for potential use in a local community publication. That was a fun experience!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After lunch Richard headed back to his home near Quebec City & I went back to Santosha. \u201cOur\u201d photographer was relaxing with her family at a picnic table beside the boat. They were interested in what it was like so I invited them on board for a little tour. Then it was my turn to be the photographer!<\/p>\n

Glenn arrived in Smiths Falls at 6:00pm. We had worked together in Yoho National Park, in Field, BC in the early 1980\u2019s & had stayed in touch with occasional emails & phone calls but it has been 20 years since we last saw each other!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Wow, we have a lot of catching up to do!<\/p>\n
Glenn & I planned to travel to Kingston over the next week. But first on the agenda was a cold brew & supper at a local pub.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
After that it was back to the boat to plan our trip with the aid of a nightcap (or two).<\/p>\n
