Episode #9 - Lock 8 to Trenton - Epic Boat Cruise 2019

[@petergerkens6045]

Thanks for "being" with you on your boat and journey, again!! Loving it cuz I know the feeling and miss it alot. :D

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Happy to be able to share our adventures and hopefully help you relive some old memories! Cheers, Paul.

[@markburley4901]

That scenery is fabulous. A lot came back to me as you got closer to Trenton. One thing, clicked the map link and got a message that I didn't have permission to view. Weird. Looking forward to seeing the video of the Trenton Port Marina! Happy boating.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Try it now, should be working 👍

[@markburley4901]

@@BoatingWithBoogaboo Sure does! Thanks for that. I enjoy looking at these a lot.

[@vernshepherd7461]

I have seen your previous videos where I believe you actually tied up at lock 13 just north of the twoonie and the big town of Campbellford. What you may not have known though is Capers restaurant has new owners and chef, very fine eatery. Also just around the corner from Doohers is Antonia's bistro, likewise excellent food. Nice to have such gems in small town Campbellford. By the way, our slip is at Crates in Belleville, just east of Trentport. They are a full service marina ring by Ryan Crate. We are going on our 4th year there and are pleased with the service, quality of work and friendly people. I believe next year they are hoping to have their expanded harbour completed. Cheers until next time, safe travels. " tied one on" out.

Spentabolous day! Love it. A new word. :)

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

No better way to describe it! Stick around and I'll teach you a whole bunch of new words 😁

[@Zarih67]

Love the videos. You are the reason the Great loop is on my bucket list. And your side of the world I especially wish to discover and experience.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

@@Zarih67 Nice! If you have a chance, check out the podcasts from the AGLCA (www.greatloop.org/) to find even more insights and inspiration. Just be sure to tell them, that the #Boogaboo Crew sent ya ;-)

[@jrschantz]

Interesting to see your interaction with "Slow Bells". Many of the loopers stop in Mackinaw City as well. Slow Bells was there for several days and just left last weekend, if I remember correctly.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Slow Bells was moving v e r y slow, indeed. This was, obviously, on our way south to Trenton, but we ended up passing him again almost two weeks later, up on the Severn River at Lock 42 🙄

[@mrzif0013]

sure looks beautiful !

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

It's all beautiful and that's why I love sharing it with the world! Glad you are enjoying it. Spoiler Alert: We ended up going to gorgeous Georgian Bay on this grand voyage, so watch for more lovely scenery on the water in future episodes :-)

[@bruceknox6518]

Hi Paul, been watching your videos and enjoying them, maybe we'll pass on the water sometime.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Cheers.

[@charlesdavenport2543]

4 cases of beer and 1 case of water. Sounds about right.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

That's what I say 😉

[@cherishgeorgianbaycruiser172]

Nice trip my wife and I are hoping to do a couple weeks on the trent next summer.. I have followed ya for about 4 years now nice vids, I also follow Seattle Boat Guy he is doin a good job also.. But there is another couple from Texas in HERES TOO US Sam and Rev that follow you and gave you a shout out when they saw ya. Their channel is WHAT YAHCT TOO DO look for trip to Big Shoot Fan Boy lol CHEERS

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Yup, Sam gave us big hello when they passed us at Lock 43 this summer. Look for that coming up in my current series. And yes, I'm subscribed to thier channel and watching all I can. That said, they do out out a LOT of videos 😉

[@cherishgeorgianbaycruiser172]

@@BoatingWithBoogaboo yes they do lol Cheers

[@keithherbert6533]

thank you. keep it up

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

No, thank you for keeping following along 😁

[@mrzif0013]

we purchased a motorhome and now do less boating. how do people put up w/ the smokie crowded campgrounds , i prefer the water anytime!

[@jrschantz]

I've got both the motorhome for land touring and the Sea Ray. Agree totally. The marina life is superior and facilities better as a rule.

[@Moondog9322]

I think you should show more of Anchorgirl. No offense to you, but....

[@guyvilleneuve4075]

Thanks again Paul...looking forward to see where you are going from here! Quick question, how many days from your home port to Trenton? Thanks again.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

We took eight days to get to Trenton from Lake Simcoe. As you've probably noticed from this series, some days were quite short, but most were 5-6 hours of running in between stops. Yes, we could have put another hour or two in each day to get there quicker, but is was simply way too hot to go much farther on each leg. Might have been able to shave a couple of days off the trip, but why? We were on holidays and the scenery is too nice to just blow past it all :-)

[@jrschantz]

Is Channel 22 a recreational VHF channel in Canada? It's one of the USCG working channels in the states.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Canadian Coast Guard uses channel 2-6, twenty six. Sorry, that's how I hear them saying it on the radio 😁

[@AdventuresonTour]

Welcome to TPM... Out home port ;)

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Thanks for having us! Great facility that we took advantage of for a total of five nights!

[@mrzif0013]

never understood why the beer is so hard to purchsse in canada?

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Me neither :-(

[@pap91rt50]

Where's the cat!!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

He's lying on the couch right now.

[@mikezaverin]

What if it was a Chevy commercial lol

[@graniteridgegreens6278]

Chevy Chase or John Candy? hahahaha

[@vernshepherd7461]

You went through Campbellford and didn't stop to taste the fine food at Capers or Antonia's Bistro. Shame on you. Should have tied up at the twoonie or down by locks 11,12 and explored the fine town of Campbellford. You have no idea what you missed especially at Doohers bakery!!!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

We have stayed at Campbellford, and we have sampled the great treats at Dooher's Bakery! This time around, we didn't have time to stop when heading south, and when we turned back northward, BOTH sides of the river were completely full - the first time they've ever experienced that!! So, my friend, it wasn't for the lack of trying, just that things didn't turn out how we'd hoped. BTW, if you follow along on my Facebook Pages, you'll have seen a number of posts with non other than #Boogaboo tied up in thier wall, right alongside Mr Townsend's giant Twonie 👍

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Oh, forgot to add we've also visited both the Ranney Gorge suspension bridge, as well as picked up some goodies at World's Finest Chocolate Company when we were there. . . Again, pics of same on my Facebook Pages 🙂

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

You on Instagram?? Here's a pic I posted there awhile back, with Boogaboo IV tied up there, taken from the Bridge St bridge; instagram.com/p/Bk08CznDlUI/?igshid=1w19l6i43vgdl 🚤
