6/17/14 Departing Ottawa

It was sad to finally leave Ottawa, one of our all-time favorite cities.

 We arrived at the first bridge after 9:00 a.m. rush hour and got right through.
Our favorite lock worker.  We met her last year and both trips this year.

  It was a long day with numerous locks, a stop at Hurst Marina for water and pump-out, and a trip through the section called the Reach, before arriving at Burritt's Rapids where we spent the night.  One other (Canadian) boat was on the same dock.  We walked to a new restaurant across form Lock 17 to take advantage of their WIFI, but it wasn't working because of the impending storm.  There was heavy rain and a mild thunderstorm which was gone by morning.
