Bobcaygeon

Kim’s Korner:
We keep meeting up with this small cruise ship that cruises on the Trent-Severn Waterway. It was built to fit into the smallest lock and we finally got to see it lock through. The front bow folds up (see picture) to fit into the lock and the top half of the pilothouse lowers to fit under bridges. The cover over the back deck also folds down. You can barely see the captain in the pictures with his head protruding, through a hatch, above the lowered pilothouse roof to maneuver the ship under the bridge into the lock. The top of his head was inches from the bottom of the bridge – I wonder if he gets hazardous pay. It was very cool to watch.
We made it to Bobcaygeon and made the most of the town during the afternoon. First was the Kawartha ice cream factory – yummy! Then it was laundry, grocery shopping, tourist shopping, docktails with about 8 other looper boats that we’ve been running into every other day or so, and grilling out dinner. It was a long day but we accomplished a lot.

Pictures!
