On Saturday, we left beautiful Sister Bay, WI (where they fixed our generator again) and motored down Lake Michigan to Kewaunee. I think that’s an old Winnebago Indian name for “not much going on here”. Today we left Kewaunee and slowly (rougher seas) motored toward Sheboygan, WI. On the way, we stopped […]
I guess there’s worse places than Sister Bay, WI to be stuck waiting for our generator to be repaired. Afterall, they have good beer and tonight we are going for a famous Lake Michigan fish fry. It doesn’t get much more Wisconsin than this — except maybe Spotted Cow — which isn’t a porter or
An old man and the falls View along the Trent Severn We stopped moving. Why did we stop moving? What’s happening out there?. We’re tied to the wall waiting for the green light so we can enter the lock. Getting ready to enter the “Chute”, lock 44 of the 45 locks on the Trent
Looks like I’ll have time to try and post again if the WiFi will hold because we will be staying at the Sister Bay, WI marina for awhile so they can work on our — —- wait for it —- —-generator again. The rapids just as we exited a lock In the “Tub” while going

On August 2, 2024 we completed the historic (think old) Trent-Severn Waterway with it’s 45 locks. The locks were built in the mid to late 1800s. Some had wooden gates instead of metal. a couple were fantastically unique which I’ll show you in the pictures. Instead of drop lines, all the T/S locks had cables
On the 21st, we left Trenton and entered the famous and definitely historic Trent/Severn Waterway. We motored from lock 1 to lock 13 in one day. Most locks accommodated 4 boats (these are small locks but significant lifts) Most are manually operated and a few have wooden gates rather than metal. In a number of
We made it to Canada and didn’t get arrested. We are supposed to contact “Arrive Canada” before getting off our boat at the nearest port. Well that didn’t work because the IT outage prevented us from having our phones switched to international roaming buy the carrier. So we arrived in Trenton which by the way
Those of you who are following us using Nebo app may have noticed we haven’t been moving. I’m not saying we were in one place long but the birds nest in our tender is not empty and the little birds have grown and flew away. Also the ducks that were raising their young on our
