Marc- The Lucy III is still docked at the Hastings Village Marina awaiting a rebuilt engine from Moyer Marine. We were told that it was shipped out today and should arrive Friday. I am expecting that it arrives on Monday. We are currently aboard Wind
song in Lakefield, Ontario after doing seven locks from Peterborough. Locking through the Peterborough Lift Lock was most exciting, We entered a huge tank and tied the boat to the side. We were next lifted vertically about 70 feet. The view over the side of the tank was most impressive. Sue had camera in hand to show how the lift lock works. Sue was invited to tour the engineering spaces as well as the control room. See Jay and Joan's blog for some excellent photos and descriptions: http://www.svwindsong.blogspot.com/

The Kawartha Voyager is the largest at 120 feet long and 22 feet wide.
This was another super hot day of 100 degree high humidity weather. We passed by many kids swimming in the river, some swinging out from the trees, and yet others jumping from bridges. The local people have been friendly and helpful in providing suggestions for tonight's stop. The swimming here is excellent with the water temperature is 85 degrees. We are expecting a cold front to cool us off overnight.
