We headed up the Trent-Severn waterway today.  The locks are small and don’t open until 8:30 AM, so we waited a bit.  Kate & Gloria walked to the Post Office and Pharmacy.  The “Looper Train” – Seamoore, Dream Catcher, and Jeremiah – left before us, so we left @ 9:45 AM to get some space between our groups for the locks.

Just as we were about to exit Lock 5 a thunderstorm hit, so we stayed tied in the lock for a bit.  When it cleared a little we moved to the outside lock wall and waited for a bigger window.

We eventually made it through Lock 6 and tied up outside the lock in Frankford.  We had hydro (Electricity) but no water.  The lock tenders helped us tie up for the night.

Kate & Gloria walked into town (again!) and were able to get some supplies.  Everyone cooked on board tonight, and ate outside at the picnic tables.  It was a beautiful night with a full moon!
