<\/p>\nOvernight at Upper Brewers Lock<\/p>\n
44\u00b024\u203248\u2033 N 76\u00b018\u203246\u2033 W<\/p>\n
Our next destination was Upper Brewer\u2019s Lock. We heard there might be cold beer there.<\/p>\n
Lot\u2019s of mooring space at the dock but no brewery in sight! I guess I must have imagined the craft brewery there serving up free cold brews. Oh well, we still had some cold ones in the fridge.<\/p>\n
Shortly after we arrived at Upper Brewers the available mooring spaces filled up in a hurry! The Kawartha Voyager cruise boat was our neighbor for the night.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We had lots of fun chatting with the crew & the guests. I talked a bit with the Captain. He said they were having a very good season. All trips on the Rideau & the Trent-Severn were sold out last year & this year too. It\u2019s obvious that he & his crew take great care of all of their guests. Several of them commented that they were having a wonderful time.<\/p>\n
Our flybridge seating area was on the same level as the KV\u2019s dining room deck. I asked the chef what was for dinner tonight & she replied \u201croast beef\u201d.<\/p>\n
I told her that we were available for the first seating but she didn\u2019t take me up on the offer. No surprise there as I was dressed in my favorite oil stained shorts, my paint stained t-shirt & my raggy Bulleit Bourbon baseball cap. Plus I hadn\u2019t had a shower fo several days. I don\u2019t think their cruise guests would appreciate sharing their space.<\/p>\n
Oh well, Glenn & I made the best of it. I put him to work on the BBQ. We had Spam \u201csteaks\u201d saut\u00e9ed in extra virgin olive oil, sea salt & peppercorns along with BBQ\u2019d red peppers & boiled baby potatoes with real butter – all washed down with authentic French red wine!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This was certainly Michelin level cuisine (or more likely the last of the provisions in a Northern Michigan hunting camp). No dress code on this ship\u2019s dining room.<\/p>\n
Poor Glenn – he’s such a good sport!<\/p>\n
