So then we tried it

Looks rather benign early in the morning -- doesn't she?
But you try this with the aft end of your boat hanging off a big cage, and nothing you can do but hold your breath, hope that thundering in your chest will not rock the boat, and, oh by the way, "don't move around in the boat once we are underway" This is taken before we start down the far side of the chute
Do you suppose that big boat ahead of us will stop us if we start to fall? If was just the two of us, carefully brought into the carriage and then lowered onto our keels for the ride of a life time.

No, this is not at the end of Big Chute, there were some exciting currents there -- but not this. This is instead the Georgian Bay side of the last lock. Those boats are waiting to go into the lock, that water is making the ride down from the lock even more exciting -- on Thursday morning, I finally got my nerve up to take this on and head into the Bay.

This may be the last posting for quite a while -- we are getting into even more remote country, but I will try my best to upload something.

Cathy is home, Charlee is here -- and the sun is shining!
