Day #185 - Lock # 40

Left about 8:26 am with lots of "skiny" canals to travel through and the seaweed was terrible not to mention the low water depth was kind of scary at times, esp. meeting a houseboat coming the other way. Did see some cows drinking water near the canal. At  2:00pm we tied up to Lock #40 wall. Meet a couple who bought Mike & Melissa's boat from Port Sheldon. Believe it or not, they tied up across from us at Lock #40. Cindy was taking a picture of their new boat from the lock bridge up above and said, "Hey, we just bought our boat from Port Sheldon". They said that there were strong winds and possible hail coming and sure enough the sky turned black. Scot and I were playing scrabble on land and quickly picked up our chairs and the scrabble board @ 3:30pm.  Thanks goodness all we got was some wind and rain.

Went through Locks # 35- Rosedale...up 4 feet , Lock #36 Kirkfield...down 49ft., Lock 37 Bolsover, down again, Lock# 38 Talbot down again, Lock # 39 Portage down again and Lock #40 Thorah down again.  Cruised 26 miles today and lots of locks!
