Glen Ross, ON, CN
Well, we had wanted to go to Frankford, Lock 6, where the Canada Parks has shore power for boats. But, when we got to Lock 7, we found out that Lock 6 was full. So, since we had already completed six locks and had stayed at this nice lock in the shade of a giant willow tree several weeks earlier, we decided to pull over for the night.
There is wildlife everywhere. From frogs hiding in the grass on a lock ladder to the large grassy marshes with majestic swans and other birds.
Another boat that pulled in a little later was an older Ocean Yachts trawler that the owner had completely removed the diesel engines and replaced with electric motors. They had many panels for solar power and a generator to keep the batteries up. I couldn’t figure out why the boat was so quiet until the owner told me it was an electric boat. Sorry, no pics but it just looks like a boat.
In the morning when we were getting started, the beautiful boat in the pictures came through the lock. Fun to see something different.
