Left Trenton around 9:30 this morning to start the journey through the Trent Severn locks. It was already hot and projected to get hotter through the day. The locks are the easiest that we have encountered with the hold lines spread evenly through the locks on both sides and the lines are tied at the bottom so basically you just loop a line around the hold line to stabilize the boat. The lock masters are all friendly and willing to talk about themselves and their job and interested in where you are going . Around 12:30 it was really hot and we were just going through lock 6 which was about 7 miles form where we started. However lock 6 had electricity so that meant that we could start our air conditioning and cool off, so we decided to stop for the day. The next spot with electricity was 7 locks away and probably about 5 hours. The heat was oppressive so stopping for the day was the best decision. The rest of the day we just read, watched the ball game and rested.
