June 19, 2017

When we started this epic journey of ours we had no idea how long it would take to travel from Florida to Canada.  We figured that it would take at least two years.  We have not rushed just plugged along and stayed where ever there was something to see or do.  As of tonight we are 1 DAY from Canada.  We could have done it today but there were things to see along the way.  So tonight we are
moored in a little harbor called Sackets Harbor on Lake Ontario  about 50 miles to Canada.  We are in a state of shock.  We really are doing the Great Loop.  Sackets Harbor was a good stop for us (me really).  The Oswego Canal locks just about did me in.  I needed a day to just hang out and relax.  When we get to Canada we get on the Trent-Severn Canal System (that's  equal to the Erie Canal).  It has 43 locks and 240 miles long.  It connects Lake Ontario to Lake Michigan.  It has the biggest variety of locks in the world, as well as the biggest lock in the world.  I can hardly wait.
If anyone wants to join us we will be in Kingston in 2 days and we will wait 1 day for you to get here.  It is definitely a once in life time experience, at least for me.  We have to be out of Trenton 
Ontario by July 1 as that is Canada's 4th of July.  Surely there is a brave soul who wants to experience LOCKS. Once again my computer and I are at a stand off.  It won't let me download pictures, so you will have to experience our trip from my flowery language.  Good Luck!
