Hi to everyone from Lock 41 in the Trent-Severn Canal. Indiscipline and
her crew have crossed Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, the North Channel, and the
Georgian Bay Small Craft Route with great adventure, and fun, and without
serious mishap. We are now in the canal and finally having great weather.
We are sitting at the top of Lock 41 with another power boat and have just
finished a great dinner together. We are high above Lake Simcoe and
getting a good enough signal for email on the cell phone.
We took a couple of bad weather days last week in Parry Sound to update the
Indiscipline Cruise 2000 web page, so please visit
http://www.indiscipline.org
to see our adventures in Lake Michigan. More web site updates will be
coming soon for Huron, North Channel, Georgian Bay and the Trent-Severn
canal. Let me just say that this canal and especially the Georgian Bay
Small Craft route are not for those boats who may be "draft-challenged"
although we did pass a Krogen 42 in the middle of the Potato Cut in the
Georgian Bay so it is possible, besides, we made it with props and shafts
intact.
I will never again think that 5 feet of water is shallow. When we read 5
on the sounder that is when we could relax and breathe easy!!
Most nights are spent on the lock walls or at anchor and we have not seen a
marina in quite awhile. The boat we are with (today) does not have a
generator or propane so we cooked their dinner for them tonight!
So anyways please visit the site and if you want to send me an email. I
am sorry I don't have much time to participate on the list anymore.
We are running about 2 weeks later than our plan so I am beginning to doubt
that we will make the Maryland Trawler Fest but the weather is great now
and we are still trying. With a 10 km/hr speed limit in much of the canal
and 40 locks to go I don't know.
