Poonamalie Lock - Westport, ON


August 25 – 27, 2013
Poonamalie Lock – Westport, ON

Sun.
Today is an early day so I can catch the first opening of the Kilmarnock Lock. There were 2 boats there already but they had spent the night and were staying a bit.  Thank goodness!  Dreamchaser and I barely fit!

We did another 7 locks today, and went through a number of narrow channels.  One Lockmaster told us there were a number of problems this year with weeds.  I’ll say!  They are everywhere!
 
Dreamchaser leading in  a very narrow channel!
We tied to the Lock wall above Poonamalie Lock by noon.  Quiet, rural setting, but we have power!

Mon.
Decide to stay put.  The weather forecast is iffy and Ginny is suffering with allergies or a cold.  Quiet day to chill.

Tues.
Up early again, this time to beat predicted afternoon storms.  I only had 1 Lock to do today.  It was a 3-foot lift – easy!

Westport is a cute little town.  We are in the town harbor and the people can walk into town easily. They went in to do laundry and came back with shopping!  Even Greg got something!
