Prepare for Changes

The plan was to make Upper Brewers today. All started well with our arrival at Davis Lock and we were the only three boats to lock through. As we approached Jones Falls, Jim and Cathie were just in time to fit in the lock for the trip down. Bob, Rachel and ourselves had to take the blue line, and they were not going to do a double lock down, so the only solution was to go for ice cream.
As we waited for the flight up, the Kawartha Voyageur arrived and took the next flight down, and this time we were able to get a double locking down. With the winds picking up, the clouds darkening and the day getting short and there was no way we were going to make the Brass Point Bridge last swing, so the executive decision was made to take dock space at Hotel Kenney. An excellent change in plans as we had a great dinner at the Hotel and had a good time.
Wonderful sunset tonight, so if the saying is true we should have great weather tomorrow.

Terry and Linda have caught up to us and are staying the night at the Hotel Kenney docks also.
Tomorrow the four boats are heading to Kingston Mills and then into Kingston on Wednesday.
Just hope we don't get caught up in the Kawartha's schedule.
