Fenelon Falls

We left Bobcaygeon and crossed sturgeon lake to Fenelon Falls.  It was about a 3 hour trip at our normally slow speed of about 7mph.  We saw two houseboats heading the other way and this deer crossing the lake to the island on the right.  It must have been tired when it got there, it.  Was at least 2 miles across!

 

Fenelon Falls is another nice little town with all the typical stuff we have found everywhere else along the TSW.  

Here we are at a local pub again, the Sow and Cow!  The sandwiches are very good, fries excellent, and the beer as always, well, you know.

And this is what happens when you drink beer at a local pub, you get stopped by the local RCMP officer!

This morning we are doing laundry and we will move on through the lock at Rosedale and then on to the lift lock at Kirksfield.  We were thinking about staying here another night, and we have converted our single night mooring passes into a season pass.  So, to the end of the waterway, the mooring is covered by the new season pass.  But, we are adjusting the timing to try and be somewhere in Georgian Bay on Canada Day and hopefully avoid the crazy crowd of power boaters we expect to see here on the waterway.  Our hope is to find a nice anchorage where we can sit tight until the storm of speed boats pass.

I think that is a chief on floats.

This is the upper wall at Fenelon Falls.  It has been recently updated, is quite long and includes 30amp power and water.  There is an additional fee for the power that is collected by the lock master.  This is the second lock wall with these extra services.  About a block behind us is an ice cream and pizza place.
