OUR PLAN

We are writing this blog for one reason and one reason only. To provide a vehicle to make it easier to remain in touch with our family and friends back home.



Our plan is simple. Depart our home port of Goderich, Ontario in the Summer of 2011. Cruise Georgian Bay and the North Channel of Lake Huron while visiting some of the ports and anchorages we have missed over the years. As well as revisiting some of our favourite haunts hopefully with some of our very good friends with whom we have cruised with many times before. All the while adding up the miles and gaining experience with our new trawler. Our first and only self imposed deadline is to be in the Chicago area around Labour Day. South of Chicago, weather and circumstances will guide us!

JULY 25,2013- TRENT HILLS BOTTOM LOCK 8 TO HASTINGS VILLAGE MARINA, ONT

Early morning starts are essential when adapting to shorter hours and manpower on the Trent-Severn in 2013.  Just before sunrise, Terrmar quietly left the lock wall, gliding through a light mist rising from the tranquil canal.  The sun soon emerged, showcasing the lazy, meandering, marshy landscape prominent along the gateway to the Kawarthas (cottage country).

By day’s end we had arrived in Hastings Village Marina, Hastings, Ont.  Terrmar had “locked-through” locks 9-18 today, including two second flight locks (double locks or 2 in 1 locks).  Lock 11/12 – Ranney Fall’s Flight Lock rising 48 feet and Lock 16/17 – Healey Falls Flight Lock rising 54 feet had given us an exhausting but satisfying work-out!
