We went the 40 miles to Lock 32 at Bobcaygen, another neat but busy little town. Along the way we lost the inverter to over temp and high voltage alarms but it came right back up after turning off the AC loads and running slower with the engine blowers on.
Traveled through some beautiful scenery especially around Hells Gate and Stony Lake.

Coming into the lock area it was busy, and a trifle confusing as to the location of the lock. Of course it turned out to be where all the boats were milling about. Luckily we found some space big enough for us along the blue line on the lock wall. (
For those unfamiliar, the Blue Line is a blue colored line on the lock wall designated for boats waiting to go through the lock). I talked with the lock master and since it was late he allowed us to stay there for the night.

The lock is right in the middle of the town. There's a Bigley shoe store here which seemed to stir a torrent of excitement for some on board. As for me, well I'm not into shoes that much. There were several ice cream stands and a well stocked grocery store. Internet was available at the Kiwartha coffee shop next to Bigleys.
Vacationing Canadians rent houseboats around here. And in the evening around the campfire they sing along to old 60's music. A few of them had really good voices. That was our entertainment for the night.
Again, no pictures. We have a coffee house internet connection but we're due in the lock in 15 minutes so no picture uploads today.
