It's been almost 2 weeks since my last post, but it feels like we have experienced way more than could possibly fit into 2 weeks. We finished up the Rideau Canal, which in itself was pretty special, spent a couple of nights in the lovely city of Kingston, ON, boated through the Thousand Islands, crossed back into the US to pick up some packages in Clayton, NY, toured the Antique Wooden Boat Museum, celebrated Canada Day in Trenton, ON and completed 17 locks on the Trent Severn waterway, bringing our total lock count to date to 90!!! We are still traveling with our buddy boat Voyager, which makes locking much more fun, since it is usually just our boats in the locks. We have met some great people whom we expect to see again along the way. We are off to Peterborough, ON tomorrow, where we'll transit one of the more unique locks on this adventure. So many pictures and so many memories that could not be captured. Here are some highlights of the last 2 weeks.

 |
| Kingston, ON |
 |
| Back from a 20 mile ride in Kingston - we were happy for the "e-assist" |
On our way through the Thousand Islands and then to Clayton, NY...
 |
| Back in the St. Lawrence Seaway |
Homes on the islands, some famous, all unique...
The Antique Wooden Boat Museum in Clayton, NY was really nice - due to the weather, not much happening on the water but a great place to spend a few hours.
Heading back to Canada...
 |
| AGLCA has a group of people who volunteer as "Harbor Hosts" all along the route - Karen and her husband have a boat in Trenton and captured us entering the marina |
 |
| Karen also took this picture as we started on the Trent Severn yesterday |
 |
| Most of the locks we have been transiting on the TS are to bypass dams with hydro stations (lock on the far right) |
 |
| Parcs Canada has some very cool camping spots near the locks |
 |
| This lock will lift us about 75ft - it is a flight of 2 locks linked together |
 |
| We've run into a sister ship of Emilie B a couple of times and expect to see more of them along the way |
 |
| In for the night at the Hastings Lock wall - David did a great job parallel parking, the boat in front of us and the one behind were both tied up when we arrived. |

| Emilie B's log for the past 2 weeks - you can see our side trip through the Thousand Islands and then back to Canada and now on the Trent Severn |
