@Dream_Inn Not as nice as @J3ff but we get it here if the conditions are right. This is over by Moriches Inlet. The first time we cruised into the clear water we were shocked!

Those are the days when all the work it takes to keep your boat in check ... finally becomes worth it.

Back in the air flying after a month off and then 3 months of training plus another month off. This is a photo of Port Angeles as we were descending  to Seattle from Alaska. This is where I was heading after work so I figured I would take a photo 🤷🏽‍♂️

Doing a Trent Severn Run from Simcoe to the Bay first time in this boat ended Up at Rawlings tonight … I am in YYZRC’s neighborhood!!!

YYZRC

@SimcoeRinker400 are you at Rawley Resort?! Love it there!

How long did it take to go from Simcoe to Lock 45?  How long are you staying on GB?

SimcoeRinker400

Yes I am at Rawleys Resort for tonight..  Took my time no traffic…  Not sure just taking the Admiral on the Trent as she has never done it before so no plans on how long might head back as one of bravo threes is doing something weird ….was thinking of leaving my boat in Queens Cove Marina … will up date once I know .. where are you located on GB?

Willhound

Isn't that railway a hoot?!

YYZRC

Queens Cove is nice. @kordo is there I think. I’m at Bay Port.

Nothing like taking your boat down a hill!

@YYZRC, From Lefroy to lock 42 average at 2hours, 3500 RPM 24 MPH. From there to clear lock 45 can be 4 to 6 hours depending on traffic.

YYZRC

Thanks @Grahamu - that's great insight.  Might be headed down that way in 3 weeks.

SimcoeRinker400

Let me know maybe we can get together on Lake Simcoe or meet in Orillia nice spot to dock good restaurants and stuff.

@Grahamu. The railroad is an issue there is like 20+ boats stuck up top and I am stuck at lock 45 until they start moving boats over 30 feet .. I am hoping tomorrow. 

Grahamu

@SimcoeRinker400, I've heard lack of trained staff is the issue at Big Chute on weekdays. Hope you get thru tomorrow. We're a couple of weeks away from going to Georgian Bay.

YYZRC

How does the railroad cradle work? Does the bow just sit on the wood plank floor? What supports the stern? Slings?

SimcoeRinker400

@YYZRC the group is going to like these pictures loopers I met took a Timelapse video of us being loaded.  So just took screen shots for you guys to show how the boat sat on the Marine Railway.

SimcoeRinker400

@Grahamu I don’t trust them this year as they said all week would be for big boats over 30 or more or over 11.5 beam … I hope we can get out tomorrow I’ll update you guys tomorrow.  Some nice drone shots from tonight and you can see how dead it is traffic wise.  Weird year . 

YYZRC

Awesome pics @SimcoeRinker400 !!

I assume under 11.5’ beam and they do two boats side by side?

Grahamu

Yes last time last year we were front of the blue line but they took a few smaller boats first and came back for us. Sat for 45 mins.

@SimcoeRinker400
You gotta tweak that bow roller guard. Looks like a bent gunsight…..lololol
