Saturday at 0623 we departed Hastings and Arrived Peterborough Marina at 1230. Cruised 37 miles and one lock. Mostly sunny and 80 degs. We went to a Catholic church for mass and found a dead bat on the floor in front of us, which made it very hard to concentrate. We had an outdoor concert with thousands of people attending and fire works after the concert.
Sunday departed Peterborough 1100. 1400 broke an engine mount bracket at lock 23. Luckily a lock repair crew was called in to repair a broken cable at lock 24 and the lock master gave Joe a ride in his car so the repair crew could weld the broken bracket. Monday was a civic holiday and it would have been Tuesday if we had to go to a repair shop. We were under way in 3 hours. Arrived 1830 at Lock 26 wharf. Cruised 10 miles and 7 locks. 76 degs and partly sunny.
From Tom & Mary: This is a Canadian Holiday weekend. A few more boats on the waterway. The weather is absolutely perfect for cruising - not HOT. The wine tastes mighty fine here on "Our Villa". All is well except for that dead bat in church.
