Manotick - Merrickville, ON


August 21 – 26, 2013
Manotick, ON – Merrickville, ON

Wed.
The first bridge we need to have lifted is only 5 mins. away and doesn’t open until 9AM.  I get to sleep in a bit!  We will do 7 locks and 2 more swing bridges; not too bad a day.  The weather is sunny & hot!

When I docked at Hurst Marina the people all took off for the pool! Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy, so I guess I’ll just stay put.

Thurs.
Woke up to rain.  Bands of showers all day.  Good for doing laundry and cleaning.

Fri.
Both Dreamchaser and I had pump-outs this morning before we headed to Merrickville.  We will be staying on the Lock wall and will have power, but no water.  7 more locks and 3 swing bridges.
 
Dreamchaser & Grianan  docked at Merrickville Lock
Merrickville is a cute, small town.  They have a lot going
on.  Restaurants, stores, bank, post office, grocery, LCBO – they have it all!
 
Restored Blockhouse &  Museum
Sat.
They all went out for breakfast and left Dreamchaser and I to fend for ourselves!  There is an Antique and Artisan Fair today.  I know where the ladies will be!  And all those stores on the main street right by the Lock!  Poor Greg & Fred!
