Fenlon Falls to Bobcaygeon, 2014

Leaving Fenelon Falls

Peter had to open the bowels of the beast again to do more work on that Port engine. It had been running rough, and would speed up all on its own. He figured it was an injector acting up. There are six of them, so the next issue was which one would be causing the problem. He decided to try the very back one as that was the piston that had blown up in Georgia and we had the engine rebuilt in South Carolina if you remember.

Success again!!! The engine is running really good.

We got away from Fenelon Falls shortly after 11 am for the short 25 mile run to Bobcaygeon. It was another overcast day. It was a great travel day. When the sun is out it makes it hot and humid, so overcast is good. A light jacket is all we needed on the deck, and Peter was wearing a tee shirt on the flybridge and quite comfortable.

The entire trip was across Sturgeon Lake so not much to photograph or talk about.

Canada Geese were making a nuisance of themselves on a cottagers lawn on the approach to Bobcaygeon.

We docked in the grey area at the top of the lock.

Bob and Linda Wilkens had also just arrived at Bobcaygeon. They were staying at the marina just below the lock. We walked over and had a visit with them. Met a couple they had been travelling with Tom

Bobcaygeon Lock just ahead 

and Micky. We decided to get together for dinner at a restaurant  For The Halibut at 6 pm. Great restaurant if you are ever in the area. It is much more than a fish and chip place. Sit down dining, and the building is deceiving ..... it is much larger than what it appears from the street.

This loon welcomed us to Bobcaygeon.

Bobcaygeon is the place to get chelsea buns at the bake shop. Steve and Linda introduced them to us last year. Hoping that we have time to get some tomorrow morning before we leave.
