Bicki's Solution to the 50 Pound Problem

The good news was we found antifreeze (to winterize Nellie's potable and raw water systems) on sale.   The bad news: the store was a mile from Nellie; 6 gallons of antifreeze weighs 50 pounds; and, we were hoofing it.  Bicki, ever creative, stuck out her thumb.  No one stopped.  Undeterred, she showed a little leg.  No one stopped.  I heard her muttering, "This always worked when I was 21."  A smart husband knows when to stay silent.  We walked.


Trenton to Belleville

In today's 12 mile run we didn't go through a single lock ;-)  Tonight Nellie's at Create Marine in Belleville, Ontario.  I hope she likes this place as it may be her home for the Winter.  This summer's journey was 2068 miles.  Since starting the Loop in 2015 Nellie has gone 6438 miles.  Until May 2018,  DBH.
