Today are the last two locks we have to do on the Trent system, the next locks will be just south of Chicago. It’s nice to know were not going to have to do anymore locks for a month or two lol! we have done over 80 so far. Big Chute was really a sight to behold, and one of the coolest things I have done with Pura Vida this far! After Big Chute and lock 45 we arrived at WYE Heritage Marina in Midland Ontario the number here is 1 705-526-0155. This marina has great private shower facilities that are brand new and you could literally have 10 people in the private shower rooms and not be crowded lol they also have a heated swimming pool, Floating docks for vessels up to 100′, full service repairs, marine chandlery and parts department, indoor and outdoor storage, multi-purpose sports surface, laundry, playground, 24-hour surveillance, social events, dockside amenities, complimentary wifi. The World famous Henry’s Fish Restaurant is located on-site. While here I replaced a coolant hose on my STBD engine that was leaking, and refilled the cooling system with CAT-ELC coolant. With a parts department a short walk from the boat, I could get what I needed. I met some very awesome Canadians while I was here, they went out of their way to be frendly and make me feel welcomed. I love the frendlieness of all the people up here, its been so refreshing.
below is a link to a short youtube video I put together of the Big Chute.
below is a video my dad made on his phone of the boats that went before us
Arial of WYE Heritage Marina, this marina has 1,000 slips which makes it the biggest fresh water marina in Canada.
