CAMPBELLFORD to HASTINGS

Thursday we "buddy boated" from CAMPBELLFORD to HASTINGS. It was a delightful day with good weather and great comradery! The entire trip was about 6 hours, and we cleared another six Locks. 

Once arriving in HASTINGS, we stayed on the town wall with three other boats ( All "Loopers"). HASTINGS is right on the Trent River,  in what is considered to be Ontario's "Cottage Country".  The motto of HASTNGS is "The HUB of the Trent". It serves as a center for tourists, boats and fisherman.

The best part of our HASTINGS port stop was to share dinner conversation with two other Looping couples. The highlight of the evening was learning a new dice game...lots of laughing and stories into the night, with a spectacular rainbow over the River to end our wonderful day!

Good morning ... Waiting for Lock 13 to open with Thistle and Pura Vida on the Blue Line.

Every Lock has colorful summer flowers, Lock 14 was favorite !

"Cottage Country"...Very diverse and fun to make up stories along the way!  A slide with amphitheater seating, who wants an ice cream cone on their front yard and a blue interior fishing boat?

Entering Healey Falls Locks 16 & 17.

Double Smile & Double Locks!

Lots of fishing in HASTINGS.

We both decided to join in the fun with Canadian Fishing Licenses, spinning poles and reels with colorful lures!  

Who will catch the fish first ?

FARKLE !!!!!!! 

Good Night.
