Brockville

Brockville

As you are aware from our last post, we weren't sure if we could stay another night at Brockville.  We waited around until noon before getting word that we could stay; however, we had to move to a different dock. Once we were settled, Roy and I finally got our jog in and Duane ventured into town.


When we returned,  Duane said everything was closed for Canada Day.  Even though businesses were closed, we walked into town  to experience the historical charm Brockville had to offer. The buildings were magnificent and mostly built in the 1800's.  We finished our walk with a visit to Bud's on the Bay for dinner.

That evening, we got to watch the Canada Day fireworks show from the Yumsuch!  We had the perfect dock for the fireworks, so the change was great!

We got up early to provision before we headed out towards  the Iroquois Lock.

It was a 20 mile jump today with winds shifting all around the clock again.  But pretty much a steady 8-10 behind.  We had so much sun power, we even recharged our engine bank from the house today.  We are now anchored just behind Presqu'ile so we are ready for an early start through the Iroquois Lock.  We can see the entrance from here.  ActiveCaptain.com suggested this anchorage and said it was a combination of sand and clay.  We are holding solid, but closer to shore, all we see are rocks.  A couple of powerboats came in and anchored further down the cove.  We'll see how they fare. 

Wind is still blowing around 10, so we are fully charged on everything.  Roy and I had fun kayaking in the swift current coming between the islands.  It was like white water kayaking.
