Marina Life...

We've enjoyed the marina at Peterborough... decent showers, a washer/dryer, power, water, and easy walking access to town. We've wandered around, checking out the eateries, the architecture, and just generally seeing the sights. Having wifi makes us feel connected to the outside world. There is a large park adjacent to the marina.


We're getting short on our time here in Canada. Already thinking about what's next.

Here's the wrap-up for the past couple months...

We’ve covered over 3500 miles on land and water. Transited about 80 locks, including the Big Chute Marine Railway and the Peterborough Lift Lock, the biggest lift lock in the world. We’ve been to the BIG city and lots of small towns. Gone under bridges and over highways (yes, on the water). Spent every night aboard Wild Blue. Walked the cat, rescued the cat from the water, cleaned up poop, and had plenty of snuggle time. Little Izzy is now an international traveler. We’ve eaten Italian, Mexican, Italian, English, Italian, American, Canadian and Italian. We’ve biked, walked, boated, trucked, took the train, a bunch of buses, water taxis, and ferries. We’ve stayed on walls, at locks, docks, a couple campgrounds, Wal-Mart, islands, and on the trailer behind Big Red. We’ve visited with hundreds of people, given boat tours of Wild Blue, helped other boaters, been helped, crossed rivers, lakes, canals, creeks, waterways, aquaducts, cuts, and wetlands. Put the bow in the Atlantic, the Great Lakes, some historic canals, and have seen spectacular scenery. We circled the Statue of Liberty, saw Times Square, visited Ellis Island, Brooklyn, Harlem, and saw Ground Zero in Manhattan. Crossed time zones and one international border.

It’s been a pretty amazing trip so far.
