After waiting two and a half days for the winds to die down, we headed out first thing (at 9AM cause that is when the locks open). We had to go through 4 locks and Lake Simcoe. The wind would be 13 mph but was suppose to slow down during the afternoon.
The locks were a bit easier because we are going down now. The lock staff help you get your rope around a cable and then down you go. These locks were all manual, but each one was ready for us so it only took us 2 hours to get through all 4 within the 6 miles we traveled.

Lake Simcoe is a larger lake and had water in it (24-43 feet!) This was relaxing since we did not worry about hitting bottom. Nice change of pace!

However, as soon as we entered the river on the other side – the depths went down to 4 feet again – we had to go slow so we would not hit anything hard. It was busy with boats also.
We stayed at Ojibway Bay Marina which is on the Indian Reservation. It was a beautiful marina with good electric, water and Wifi. We took a cab to the nearby Casino Rama and had dinner and gambled a bit. Chris came out a winner! We saw a beautiful sunset as we returned to the boat.
