Severn + 45 Locks = Trenton

It took 5 very solid days of cruising and 48 hours of run time on the engines, but we made it to Trenton this evening! The last two days were not as scenic as the first 3, more of a getting there rather than the journey situation. That said, despite the cloud and light rain, we still saw a lot of interesting countryside and talked to a bunch of nice folks along the way. It’s interesting how quickly you can get to know an area and the people in it after only a short time. If we were on less of a schedule to get south before the fall we would have had countless opportunities to take little side trips to lakes and bays, fished, swam and enjoyed the time in the Canadian countryside. However, that will have to wait for another day.
