We finally took off across Lake Simcoe bound for an anchorage further along the Trent-Severn. Boat traffic was heavy due to the great weather and the holiday weekend. We passed a lot of “cottages” which are getting bigger as we go. Some even have seaplanes parked next to their boats! Many have garages for their boats.
Georgio is keeping a very low profile hiding under a chair and not doing his usual early morning crying or wandering. He is either very contrite or in shock from his late night excursion. We hope it scared him enough to stay put!
After crossing the northeast corner of Lake Simcoe we entered a narrow portion of the Trent Canal and cruised past the city of Orillia (the biggest one on the Trent-Severn).
We got stuck behind a swing bridge while waiting for two very long freight trains to pass.
We cruised through Sparrow Lake where the trees started changing from deciduous to mostly fir trees and the rocky landscape of this northern section became more apparent.

We started looking for an anchorage before the Big Chute lock and found a lovely spot in Lost Channel (great name)! It was calm and serene with a few cottages in sight but also a significant piece of undeveloped wooded shoreline. Once we set the anchor we realized that the house on the point lot was entertaining for the weekend (all the blow-up toys and small watercraft should have been a clue for us)! They had their music cranked up. It was loud but not too obnoxious. We considered moving for about a minute but it was already 6:00 and we didn't want to bother.
So we settled in and went for a wonderfully refreshing swim and cooked burgers on the grill. The music ended before too long and we ended up having a blissfully calm night.
