Tuesday August 20 Day 80 42 mi / 1495 total


June 19 thru Aug 20 --- 26 stops, 1068 miles ...... our Superior Adventure, PRICELESS!



Waterford led the way out of Batchawana Bay at 8 a.m. under clear blue skies and a temp of 66.  We spent much of the trip up on the bridge enjoying the scenes as we approached the lock on the Canadian side of the Soo.  The Canadian lock is a small one intended for use by pleasure boats and other small craft.   Once through the lock, we pulled into Bondar Marina.  The current and a brisk wind made the entrance a little tricky.  Since they could only handle one boat at a time for pump out, Day Dreams had to hold out in the river while we pumped out and got secured at our slip.  Then we helped the (there was only 1) dockhand while they pumped out and moved into their slip.  The marina seemed a bit run down --- certainly not up to par with many of the other marinas we've visited along the way.  However, there was a mall, with Walmart, right next door.  So we picked up some groceries and had a nice Italian dinner at a nearby restaurant.  One night's stay here will suffice --- we'll move over to the US side to Kemp's marina tomorrow.
