Wall at Campbellford, ON to Hastings Village Marina in Hastings, ON
Day #380: From last evening Mike beat me at cribbage. Mike and I were up at 5:15 A.M. to prepare for departure. At 5:45 A.M. "Parrot Bay" was underway heading toward the blue line at TSW Lock 13. "Parrot Bay" secure at the blue line. Mike made coffee upon arrival the two of us had coffee, nectarine, butter tarts and mini apple strudel on the flying bridge waiting for the 9 A.M. lock opening. "Knight's Kingdom", "Coventina" and "Subject to Change" all joined "Parrot Bay" on the blue line. At 9:10 A.M. the lockmaster dumped the chamber "Parrot Bay" tied to the port (left) wall with "Knight's Kingdom" rafted to us. "Subject to Change" tied to the port wall with "Coventina" rafted to them for the locking. At 9:40 A.M. all four boats were clear of the TSW Lock 13 (Campbellford) after being raised 23 feet (#75 lock for the trip). At 10:25 A.M. all four boats clear of TSW Lock 14 (Crowe) after being raised 25 feet (#76 lock for the trip). At 11:00 A.M. all four boats clear of TSW Lock 15 (Healey Falls) after being raised 22 feet (#77 lock for the trip). At 12:25 P.M. all four boats were clear of TSW Lock 16 & TSW Lock 17 (Healey Falls) a double lock after being raised 54 feet (# 78 & #79 locks for the trip). After clearing Healey Falls the scenery was beautiful with lots of cottages, granite and greenery. We considered it some of the best scenery so far on the Trent-Severn Waterway. At 2:30 P.M. all four boats were clear of TSW Lock 18 (Hastings) after being raised 9 feet (#80 lock for the trip). "Knights Kingdom", "Subject to Change" and "Coventina" headed to the wall in Hastings while "Parrot Bay headed to Hastings Village Marina. "Parrot Bay" was tied up at 2:45 P.M. after traveling 21.5 miles (4,701 miles total for the trip). At 3:15 P.M. "Alysana" joined "Parrot Bay" on dock A at the Village Marina. Mike and I headed to dinner at the Captain's Table in Hastings which was a recommendation from Ed. Mike and I split a halibut dinner which was excellent. John and Gina from "Alysana" joined us for dinner. On the way back to the marina Gina, John, Mike and I stopped for ice cream. After returning to the marina it was very hot. It was then time for blogging and reading. The plan for tomorrow for Mike and I is for the two to head to Peterborough, ON with only one lock on the way.
