Photos A Walk in Nature

That all came together perfectly Dan. Very happy for you and Diana. You started your summer with a couple of hearty splashes.
Glad you had a helping hand with the 2nd splash. Oh - and I'm glad I bought a new tent.

Incredible landscapes. What planet do you live on?

Hahaha! It is a beautiful area. Those photos were taken about 1200 miles west of our home. Thank you Dan.

I dropped my glasses inside the lock at Jones Falls and they went all the way to the bottom
Evan was able to drain it completely after we had crossed and brought them to me with a big smile He is my hero !!!

Thank you for kind words my friends !
Cell signal is very spotty here and I have been fighting to even read a page on the Porch for the past hour here inside “Serena’s” belly

Seems I got some signal now

We had a great day, travelled 32 km, went through several locks, navigated many small lakes and a couple of big ones too, dodged a nasty thunderstorm, and caught some fish too

Tonight we moored at Colonel By Island.
Here is a pic as we were wrapping up the day ( i owe a knife pic today )

Looks like a great adventure so far. Appears to be a great recharge and rejuvenating trip

That picture is what it's all about... adventure, solitude, and peacefulness.

Yes, we were very fortunate indeed !
As we read the news today about the devastation caused by this deadly storm we are certainly feeling very grateful to have gone through it without serious consequences

Ont. and Que. scramble to recover from thunderstorm that left at least 8 dead

A massive thunderstorm kicked off the May long weekend in southern Ontario and Quebec, killing at least eight people and leaving hundreds of thousands without power, with communities now scrambling to deal with the aftermath. Clean-up efforts continued Sunday as crews grappled with a trail of...

We arrived yesterday at Colonel By Island about 30 min before the storm hit.
The winds were already picking up speed when we got there.
Soon after, while walking around the island we got the severe weather alert on our phones. Boaters that were coming in to dock showed us the radar map and the massive storm approaching

We closed Serena’s hatches and took shelter

This is how it looked and sounded

Our shelter

The storm was short lived in our area.
We took a walk around the island afterwards
This cottage ( off limit to the public ) has been designated as a historic building.

The landscape, garden , docks etc are maintained by Parks Canada

Today as we started our return trip we had some drizzle on and off so we had to hunker down inside Serena
We still made good progress and should be wrapping up our trip ( about 100 km totsl ) tomorrow afternoon

Glad you dodged that storm, and it was especially extra nasty. Lots of damage in Ottawa with a couple deaths.

You are getting spoiled Dan - bed and breakfast without ever needing to leave your room - er - dock.
Don't get too used to it.
