Mañana on the Loop: PETERBOROUGH TO LAKEFIELD

July 24- We were off the dock at 8:00 am as we wanted to pump out before we left. We got to the first lock just as the doors were opening. There is a Nordic tug in the lock with us called "Lone Star" of course they are from Texas. We did 6 locks and decided to call it quits at the top of Lakefield lock. We got tied up and sat under the shade trees for awhile. Then three other Loopers arrived and we went to help them in and tied up. Bobbi and I took Hunter uptown to see if we could get some ice cream and sure enough up around the corner we found Kawartha ice cream. On our way back we were greeted by the gang off of "Chasing 80 and Not Sew Easy " walking toward us with their life jackets on. They were on the hunt for the place that you get into the water by the dam and the current takes you right down to the bottom of the lock. They found the place and away they all floated and on the next try they managed to talk Bill and Bobbi into trying it as well. Lakefield was a great spot to stop.
