Orillia, Ontario

Kerm here,
Great day today.  We went through the Kirkfield Lift Lock. Do a google search, you will be amazed.  We also crossed Lake Simcoe today and it was as smooth as glass.  We got lucky, just as Dan and I were last year.  In a NW blow it's like Mille Lacs and can do the 8' wave thing.

So tomorrow is Severn and then the 30,000 lakes area of Georgian Bay to Parry Sound the next couple days.  I have been lucky enough to have been all around the US and many parts of the world but the inside route to Perry was one of the neatest things I've ever done.  There is one place that I have been thinking about since last year with Dan and we ARE going to anchor at a special spot.

The 'Belle' ran well today and will probably be ready for a complete maintenance fluid change / check up when Mary and Cecil leave.  Mary will be bringing our bimini back to MN when she leaves as it needs to be replaced.  There is a place in 'nord east that does a great job at duplicating old stuff.  We hope the new one will catch up to us soon.  The old top was aged but 70 MPH winds were just too much for it and after thinking about it, repairs are probably good money spent for a hopeless cause.
