Day #60: Buckhorn


Our View of Fenelon Falls This Morning

The Locks' hours changed to their fall schedule today.  Instead of passing boats from 9am to 7pm, they're only open from 10am to 4pm.  Look for Nellie to be on the blue line no later than 9:30am and then to keep pressing until 4pm.  At least on those days that we want to make time.

Fenelon Falls to Buckhorn

It was 31 miles and one lock to tonight's anchorage just south of Buckhorn.  That ups this year's total to 1934 miles.

Nellie lost a good crew member today:  John Spencer Howell, 29 May 1929 -- 5 Sept 2017, aged 88 years.  Fair winds and following seas Dad.  DBH
