We're home! Last blog til next trip

Guess where we went for breakfast?  It's pretty handy to the Campbellford Marina, and it is one of the busiest ones I know of - the drive-thru is usually right out onto the street.  We also discovered where the best butter tarts in the world are made!  I got a couple while we were filling up with gas - just down the street about 2 doors.  They have been making them for 2 years - who knew?  Shoulda bought a dozen!

We only had to go through 6 locks again today, but when we got to the second one, we discovered they had a break-down.  The problem was with letting the water out of the lock.  They finally found a way to do it, let one boat down, and we went into the lock.

This cylinder was the problem part.

I think this is a pretty cool way to use an old row boat.  The sign on the back says "Done Rowin".

We went into the lock, the doors went shut, and then they discovered they also had a problem putting water INTO the lock!  Altogether, we lost a little more than 2 hours there.

We arrived back at Harris's about 3 pm, cleaned and cleaned out the boat, and headed for home.  It's kind of sad in a way, though I am looking forward to my bed, and very excited to have Jeff and Kerry coming tomorrow for a nice long stay.
