The constant rain in the area has caused high water concerns in many marinas. Pulling in to our slip at Picton was a good example- the dock was close to being under water. This made it difficult to tie the boat, as our fenders kept popping up over deck of the dock!
Once secured, we all walked through town , knowing it was are only night before moving on again.

TRENTON for CANADA DAY
The festival included Fireman competitions and strong man competitions- pulling a semi truck!
TRENT SEVERN WATER WAY 244 MILES of locks to reach the Georgian Bay
We recently figured out the speed limit signage. At first we thought the limit was 6mph all the way. At closer look, we notice the arrow indicates you are leaving the speed zone. If it points forward it is entering a speed zone. The 10 is Kilometers- we convert it to 6 miles per hour ( no wake zones). The square sign is a Green Buoy, keep it to the starboard.
Arrive lock 6 Frankford
No rain!
Locks were full and boats were rafted to each other to fit more in. Each lock is 46.9 meters (156 feet). This allows about three boats end to end; we fit six in the lock. Walked to town, over the bridge. The history of manufacturing is just that- history. Not much going on here. We visited a hardware store.
Big breakfast at Mama Bears – very 80’s; with a collectible plate decor.
