POTW June 9: Trent traffic

Trent Severn Waterway

June 9, 2022

Things are busy on the Trent already and it’s barely June. Mike Gridley sent us this shot last weekend when a glitch created a bit of a lock-through backlog. “Much better day on the Trent Severn Waterway today. A hydraulic pump operating the lock doors a Lovesick Lock and a big portable generator brought into Burleigh Falls Lock allowed us to get to Lakefield today. The saga continues as we head to Trenton!”

Got an interesting shot for our Photo of the Week? Anything boat related! Send it along to cyonboard@kerrwil.com and put POTW in the subject line – your shot could be next.

By Andy Adams

Ranger Tugs have been around since 1958 and they have developed a great formula: one boat, one price. Almost everything is included, and there is literally a fan club of owners who share stories, information and who set up events and rendezvous with other Ranger Tugs owners. www.Tugnuts.com is a community hub for owners of Ranger Tugs, Cutwater Boats and Solara Boats, all made by Fluid Motion!

Tugnuts.com is quite a unique resource. The online forum has quick links to a chat, info about cruises & gatherings, a channel to ask questions of the Ranger Tugs Factory, Ranger Tugs Technical Discussions, “How to” videos and more.

I wait until the bow turns into the wind and the headsail snaps over, then crawl over the cabin top of Panacea X to the now windward side. The trim team smoothly sheets on the headsail and a competitor vessel shoots past our stern, feet away, as our Solana 45 beats eastward along Antigua’s south coast.
