DAY 8 - PRESCOTT ONTARIO

No cruising today. And there was no storm. Just rain and more rain! So I had ALL day to write. Problem is…little to write about.  I read as much as possible and cleaned as little as possible. Ted worked in the ‘cellar’ (some might call it the ‘engine room’) and he worked on some ‘techie’ things.  He did get TV from the airwaves BUT no HGTV … how sad is that?

Grey grey skies ... all day

Other than the pilot seat, I think this is Ted's favorite place on the boat

Thanks to Colleen (River Hens) for the shipwatch link. We also heard from Tammy in Ottawa who forwarded a link with a huge amount of information about the Rideau Canal, which starts in Ottawa.

Time allowed us to have a ‘big’ breakfast and, since in Canada, maple bacon was essential – okay, just desired.  And thank you to Jack for the amazing Alaska King Salmon for dinner!

Heard someone else is having trouble with the comments. If you go to the bottom of the page, select “Anonymous” on the pull-down menu, insert your comment and name, then click 'Publish', it should fly and we will see who wrote it. 

SO TIRED of tech issues – and pretty sure Ted is EXTREMELY tired of me asking about tech issues. He's just too nice to say so.

As you can read, it is a sloooooow day.  But tomorrow we start the locks! Ted said the first 7 are commercial.  Have never experienced commercial locks but he has. I’m nervous. Only the 2 of us on board. I'll be on the bow catching lines?
