Sept 8, 2022

Back in 2019 (I believe) your magazine used a pic of Sweet Love, a Ranger Tug 31, in a photo promotion.

 Chrome Island, Canada Pacific NW

I started this May in Green Bay, WI and entered Canada at Sault Ste Marie. Since then, I have cruised the North Channel, Georgian Bay, Trent Severn waterway, Rideau Canal, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Saguenay Fjord, Rimouski, Gaspe, PEI, Bras D’Or, Halifax, Yarmouth, St John and the reversing falls north to Oromocto then back down and today after 3 1/2 months and 3,000 + miles will depart Canada for the USA at Eastport.

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.
