We are continuing to have a great time on the Trent-Severn. Each day seems to bring interesting new cruising. One of the absolute highlights was transiting the Big Chute Marine Railway. This device is like a railcar that goes into the water; you drive your boat onto it, they lift your stern with a sling, then raise a wood floor to support the bow. Then the whole works comes up out of the water, goes over land, across a road, and back into the water on the other side.
After transiting once, I asked Joan if she'd mind taking photos while I took Wild Blue over. She was game and did a great job! Here's the results:
Going in the "chute"
Picking up the boat...
And back in the water on the other side...
We completed the western part of the Trent-Severn when we passed through the Port Severn Lock. Lots of turbulence on the other side of that lock...
We will poke our nose out into Georgian Bay, then plan to head back into the waterway for the trip east. Lovin' it!
