Jones Falls on the Rideau Canal, Ontario, Canada

It is Monday afternoon, Memorial Day weekend.

We left Ess-Kay Yards on Saturday May 26 with a brand new and working generator. The installation went very well overall and the captain is pleased with his choice of yard. So far, it is performing as intended. 

We spent Saturday driving through the locks of the Oswego River and docked overnight in Oswego, positioned for a lake Ontario crossing.
Sunday turned out to be a perfect day for crossing, so we did. The crossing was a piece of cake: 6 hours of very calm waters. We arrived yesterday afternoon on our beloved Rideau Canal system in Ontario, Canada.

We are traveling every day a few hours through locks to reach the Big Rideau Lake on Friday. This is "our territory" on the Rideau and we will be meeeting our Canadian friends Dale and Wendy there for the weekend (alas, they both work and can only boat on weekends). We should stay in the area until mid-June. I probably will not take nor post many pictures, as there are many from last year on Picasa. Same lansdcape, same waters, same loons, same ducks, same herons, etc....

Until next post,
Annick & Michael Smart aboard Sirocco
