Midland, Ontario

We traveled 10.5 NM today and locked through the oldest lock on the Trent-Severn Waterway, Lock 45 which locked us down 12'.  It is our final lock until we reach Chicago!  We have completed the Trent-Severn Waterway and are now in the Georgian Bay! 

Trent-Severn Waterway Lock Stat’s:

We locked up 616.2’
We locked down 258.9’

Traveled 215.5 NM in this waterway.

We are docked at Midland Town Harbor, Midland, Ontario. The city of murals!



Lock 45, Oldest (and smallest in length/width) Lock on the Trent-Severn, which means it's the busiest.


Really?! Lock 45 dumped us into this "threading a needle" waterway with a strong current! No room for error.

 Wonderful dinner and local wine to celebrate our successes!
Prosciutto wrapped and charred trout in a lemon sauce. Duck ala "cranberry heaven".  Rose Wood Pinot Noir, 2012 (best year yet in this region for reds). The two owners of this restaurant have traveled the world and taken back recipes from their adventures.  Tasty is an understatement.







At port.

  1. Midland looks beautiful as well as the weather. Hopefully we'll make it up that way one day. Enjoy the Georgian Bay and the wonderful Canadian summer weather. http://sscruisingadventure.blogspot.com/
