We stopped for two nights just up the first eight locks of the Rideau canal. We tied to the wall right downtown Ottawa. Lots to see here including the parliament building many statues, great restaurants and just really cool. It’s been brutally hot here.

We are still hanging with our friends on the “Better Together”, Karl and Jody. It’s nice to have a boat to pair up with going through these locks because you know they know what to do and they are fun to hang out with.
