<\/p>\nDocked at Aylings Boatyard in Merrickville<\/p>\n
44\u00b055\u20322\u2033 N 75\u00b049\u203251\u2033 W<\/p>\n
This morning I headed to Merrickville because I needed to go back home to London for a few days & my car was at Aylings Boatyard in Merrickville. Also, I can only leave the boat at any particular lock for two days in a row, so that requires me to go to a marina where I can tie up the boat for as many days as I want.<\/p>\n
Going from Smiths Falls to Merrickville required me to go through 2 locks in Smiths Falls, a triple lock at Old Slys, a single lock at Edmonds, another single lock at Kilmarnock and then 3 more locks in Merrickville.<\/p>\n
On the way to Merrickville I went past this fixer-upper. Right on the water! I wonder if I can convince Catherine to take a look at it with me? 🙀🔨<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I ended up traveling in a group through all the locks with 4 other boaters. Once you are set up in each lock you have some time to chat with your \u201cneighbors\u201d. Jeff & Deidre were on my port side through each lock. They were looking for a marina to stay at for the night & decided to go to Aylings as well. Once we were securely docked I went aboard their boat \u201cFrench Toast\u201d for a quick drink & some gamming before hitting the road to London. French Toast is a beautiful 41 foot Sea Ray. Twin diesels & lotsa room on board this baby!<\/p>\n

I left Aylings around 5:00pm & arrived back home in London at 1:00am. It was a long day but I was glad to be home.<\/p>\n
Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
