Kirkfield Lift Lock in the Rain!

There seems to be a recurring theme when it comes to lif locks and rain.  The travels today, from Fenelon Falls to the lift lock at kirkfield.

First a float plane picture.  I couldn't tell for sure, but I think this was a 150.

The canal got very narrow.

Sign asks vessels longer than 40' to make a security call stating your position and direction as you enter the canal.  You would NOT want to meet anyone thru this section.

This is the view looking aft as we get situated in the "bathtub lock" at the top.  We are at the top of the entire Trent waterway at this point and the current will be behind us from here to Georgian Bay.

Looking forward, we are just starting down at this point.  "Look, here we are in the only other lift lock in North America and it is RAINING AGAIN!"

That is a 35' trawler at the bottom tied to the wall where we will end up in a few seconds.

Still at the top, just about to start down.

"Ah, ya, I'm getting wet!"
