<\/p>\n2nd night at Newboro<\/p>\n
44\u00b038\u203245\u2033 N 76\u00b019\u203216\u2033 W<\/p>\n
The weather forecast for today was mostly rain with possible thunderstorms so I decided to stay put in Newboro.<\/p>\n
The Kawartha Voyager came into the lock shortly after 9:00am, headed towards Kingston. There is lots of room on board the KV & the top deck is well covered so a little bit of rain didn\u2019t seem to be bothering the passengers too much.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I was confined to the inside of Santosha so my options for things to do were considerably limited. With a little spurt of ambition I organized the pantry & the pots \u2018n pans drawers & then I cleaned the bathrooms.<\/p>\n
My sister Jane had told me that Curt Miller, a friend from public school days in St. Andrews had dropped in to see her & to ask how he could get in touch with me. He lives in BC now & was in New Brunswick visiting family. I haven\u2019t seen Curt since grade 6, but I won\u2019t bother trying to figure out how long ago that was (1963??).<\/p>\n
I called Curt & we had a great conversation catching up with each other for about 1\/2 an hour. Hopefully we will be able to connect up when he & his wife are driving back to BC in early September.<\/p>\n
After our phone call \u201creunion\u201d there was still lots of rain coming down so I spent some time studying up on the Rideau System & planning my strategy for the next couple of days.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
All those activities tired me out so a nap was next on the agenda.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
After my nap I called Catherine & we got caught up with all the stuff going on at home & abroad (here). She is planning to join me for a couple of weeks so I’d better start getting my act together.<\/p>\n
Tonight I\u2019m going to watch a classic movie on my iPad – Pulp Fiction. I\u2019m having a bit of a Quinten Tarantino movie festival in the evenings – watching movies that Catherine is not particularly interested in seeing. Lotsa’ big name actors in it. Hopefully I can get to sleep OK after this one.<\/p>\n
