On the Trent Sevren and out of touch!

We are docked at Trenton, Ontario and will enter the Trent Severn today.  We have no internet service, save for while we are at a marina.  Our texts seem to be working, so that will the best way to reach us the next few  weeks.  We will not have decent internet service till we hit Michigan.  We do have a sat phone and can call out if need be.  The weather is gorgeous.  The temp was 48 this AM!  Alexis and I were interviewed by a reporter for a local boating magazine who happened to be at the marina when we docked, and his comment was we are above 40 degrees latitude, so this is normal!

Bay of Ouinte.

This is a typical Canadian navigation buoy.  They are smaller than US ones and hard to see in rough weather.  

Fishing trawler.

Trenton, the gateway to the Trent Severn.  

Once we go under this bridge, we hit the first of 35 locks going up, then 8 going down.  We will be raised 840 feet above sea level.  

Alexis tells me some of the abundant flowers here could not withstand Louisiana's summer.  

Trenton, like most waterfront towns, has developed beautiful parks on the waterfront, and caters to boaters, a big economic force here.  We dined at one of the waterfront restaurants last night, and the very friendly people wanted to know our story.  "Are you on the Loop, eh?" is a familiar refrain.    Apparently Swamp People does not show here, because know one asked us about RJ, like in upstate New York.
