Aug 2- We left at 9:00 am and headed up Lake Couchiching towards Lock 42. It was busy at the lock when we got there so we pulled onto the blue line and waited. We had eight boats jammed into that lock with us and it was the same at the Swift lock. It was getting on in the day and we were a little worried that we might not find docking at the Big Chute but fortunately we did. We had just pulled out the chairs and drinks when Miss Hattie showed up. We all had just sat down to relax when Dave's mother, brother and sister-in-law surprised us with a visit. We huddled ourselves under umbrellas trying to get some relief from the sun and heat until dinner. We all walked over to the Big Chute marina restaurant and had a wonderful dinner with family and friends. After dinner Dave's family headed back to Orillia and we all crashed.
