Merrickville to Black Rapids


Pecan left Merrickville's Ayling boatyard/marina at 8:28am with clear but a misty/foggy conditions and calm 35 deg F wind. Arrived at Black Rapids locksite, upper reach, at 2:50pm. 63 deg F water temp and 72 deg F air.
First day we've actually used the Wallas diesel stove/heater--made boiling water for this morning's tea.
At the Black Rapids locksite we took a walk looking for a wifi signal. We came across a Tim Horton's shop. Though we thought it was only a coffeehouse like Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts we were mistaken. They have a range of prepared to order sandwiches as well and we tried their chicken salad sandwich. Very good and only $2.99 each.









Nice Italian Riva speedboat.
