HASTINGS TO PETERBOROUGH

July 22/23- We left at 9:00 am heading for Peterborough. We had several locks and it was very warm and quite windy. We arrived at the Peterborough Municipal Marina about 2:00 pm. It is a fairly large marina right close to downtown. There is a large park there with a band stand where they have many concerts. We stayed inside the boat as it is stifling hot but we did venture out at 6:00 pm to take Hunter to the show. We only had to walk three blocks but it might as well have been ten in that heat. By the time the show was over and we had had a bite to eat it had cooled slightly so the walk back was a lot easier. The next day was just as warm and we just walked over to a small mall across from the marina. We did a little shopping and then quickly returned to the air conditioning on the boat. There is a concert scheduled for this evening at 8:00 pm and people are already gathering so we are taking Koby for his walk early as a lot of people just freak him out. We received a call from some friends Ralph and Sue Coe and they are on their way over for a visit. They arrived at about 8:30 pm and we sat talking on the aft dock until 12:00 pm. We walked them up to their car and said our goodbyes. It was great to see them again as it has been a long time.
