Lock @ Fenelon Falls
the Fenelon Falls
Last night we spent the night at the lock in Fenelon Falls, Ont. Each lock is set up to allow boaters to spend the evening, or day hooked up to the wall, either above or below the locks. All have a park like setting with wash rooms & toilets. When ready to go through the locks you move up to the 'blue wall' indicating you are ready to go through. The lock master will then indicate when you can proceed into the lock chamber.
This morning we woke up to the sound of the falls, just off to side of the locks. We took our time before moving into the lock and then moved on to Bobcaygeon, Ont. where we went through Lock 32.
Shortly after we got going the rain started and if the radar can be trusted we're in for an all day rain. No big deal though. After going through the lock we decided to get a slip @ GordonYachtHarbour.com, where Jody put us in an 'under cover' slip (our first). We'll spend a little time today in the town
The waterway has many spots where the current is quite interesting, and takes a little getting used to. When going 'up-hill' we were headed into the current and keeping the boat under control was easier then with the current behind us. It makes for some interesting moments.
