June 20 -22 Smith Falls to Westport 4.5 hrs.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY
It was and easy drive except for some windy areas. Seems like one day is rainy and the next is beautiful.
The scenery is so different no palm trees, lots of lush deep greens

We arrived at Westport marina early in the day and enjoyed the gazebos and picnic tables
The neighborhood kids jump off the bridge and swim back . It is still cool here.

View of the marina from the bridge. I did not jump in.
We changed the prop back to a matched set at the "beach". Canadian parks employees were raking the lake grass off the bottom of the swimming area while John was in the water changing the prop. Record time 20 minutes.
When we returned to the marina Cutter met a new friend.

Diving boards on the floating dock in the yard.

Nice boat house. The home was too far back to photo

Notice the square green marker? No question about the depth.


Where there is rushing water there is a nearby lock You never know who you will meet at the lock.

Only to find it was a steamboat convention. When I took this photo the blew their shrill whistle and steam poured out.

This lock master and his dog Molly were painting the lock masters quarters.

The scenery was just amazing. You don't find this in Florida
Hotel Kenny (Since 1877) at Jones Falls is a United Nations World Heritage site. We toured it and were totally mesmerized for 7.3 minutes.

and continued through the narrows.
