After an uneventful trip from Newboro, we arrived at the Davis Lock wall and were greeted by Dean and Charlotte on Carrie Rose. We met them in 2011 when we drove from our home in Morton, IL to St. Ignace, MI for the Nordic Tug Rendezvous. Charlotte and I were among several other women who went out on a 32 and each of us docked and undocked the boat several times. Thanks to that training, I have been the docking person on frequent occasions. Like us, they are from Illinois (Chicago) and are doing the little triangle this year and plan to end their trip in Lake Champlain. They were gracious enough to share their Trent Severn and Georgian Bay materials with us during cocktails on their boat.
Although we rarely let Duke loose anywhere, Ron decided to let him run free. He crossed the lock wall and headed for the rushes where he dug, presumably for turtles. Boy, did he have fun!!
He was a royal mess when he finished and needed a good bath.
Carrie Rose pulled out the next morning after saying our goodbyes.
