We took our time leaving, so I got a few steps in, not as many as I need! 
We were wished Happy 4th of July by some Canadians at the next Lock.

This is such a beautiful area. There are rock islands all over! Many with cute little houses on them; but I'm told they are called cottages, no matter the size.  I told Mike it would be fun to have one to come to and escape the Florida heat in the summer. 

Nice island summer cottage.

I said this is the Canadian version of our house! Looks very similar.

As we were looking for an anchorage we hit a rock and stalled an engine. But we did not feel a vibration, so that's a good thing. I'm afraid that may happen a few more times before we complete this trip.

We found a gorgeous anchorage and dropped anchor around 1. We took a dingy ride to look at a pretty water fall and people playing in it. Then we saw a couple of Loopers from Frostproof Florida about to enter a Lock and exchanged boat cards.

Brave souls, I know that water has got to be cold!

Mike cleaning the boat, always something to do.

Rowe Boat at our anchorage, it was so much prettier than this photo shows!
