August 18 -19
Days 2-3 Locks 42 - 37
After clearing Lock42, our 2nd stop was Bridge Port marina in Orillia, ON. The guys made a side trip to the John Deere store courtesy of our friend Rick, whom we met back in Midland. He lives near the marina and had offered transportation. When they got back, we got on our bikes and took advantage of a beautiful bike path along the lake into town. We found the amazing bakery that Rick recommended and stocked up on butter tarts and great bread.
Tuesday morning was clear and calm at 7:30 am -- perfect for crossing Lake Simcoe, the largest lake in the TSW. Two hours later, back in the Trent Canal

"The Ditch"
Quite aptly named...............

| Narrow and shallow, winding through farmland |
3 1/2 hours and 5 locks later, we decided to call it a day at Sunset Cove Marina. I use the term marina loosely as we just tied up to a wall. Can't complain when you have bathrooms and wifi, though.
