Upper Brewers to Kingston Mills – July 27,28,29
Off our friendly wall at 8:45 am, one of the few advantages of a big boat, one gets to go first.

Chaffey’s to Upper Brewers Lock – July 25
Really packed us in this morning much too-ing and fro-ing before we were rightly wedged.
This is in the lock and due to the fall we lose about 2 feet in width at the bottom, I did wonder if we would be able to get ourselves out.

Narrows Lock to Chaffey’s Lock – July 24
Left our wall after the crowd departed, a little rain yesterday but a good sunset.
Our fourth of fifth day without cellphone or internet access, blissfully quiet.
Our last up lock we are now at the high point of the Rideau, now all the navigation marks reverse Green marks now are to be left to ones right (OK?)
Here’s one that some wag has helpfully augmented, “The channel goes down there?”
Smiths Falls to Narrows Lock
As promised we were first lock this morning at 9:00 am
A half mile later we had to wait for a lift bridge and lock (Smiths Falls detached) the hold up was a northbound cruise ship (if it could be so called) a barge with a fold up bow (blue part) in order to fit the locks – the tour is Kingston –Ottawa in three days.

August 31st is the deadline.
Merrickville to Smiths Falls
Left our spot at 8:30, others needed the space for locking down.
Out past some pleasant countryside, a few miles later, past a property I owned when in Canada, a piece of waterfront on the Rideau, now someone is building a sizable house by the look of the basement stucture.
Burrit’s Rapids to Merrickville – July 19
Off our wall at 10:30 am, allowed time for the lock to clear. Spotted this unusual sight yesterday, couple of folk practicing their polo shots in rural Ontario,
Moved a big 6 miles today but had to run 7 locks and 3 bridges.

Chicken
Le coq bleu is now roosting next to Nelson – probably as close as it will ever get to Victory in so many fields.
Long Island to Buritt’s Rapids – July 18
Made first lock through the three lock lift at Long Island at 9:00 am, no pics. Too busy.
Then through rural Ontario, mostly conventional
