Finally, after years of YouTube videos, after walking to the lock on Friday, and after taking the Lift Lock Cruise boat on Saturday, it was our turn to
drive our boat into the famous Peterborough Lift Lock.
We left Peterborough Marina and headed out on our adventure. We had to go through one lock before the lift
lock. After a short wait, it was our turn to enter. We pulled in
with Angie and Dan (Seahorse), John and April and their kids (Sequacious), and Jack and Jane (Spirit) for our 10 minute ride to the top. Luckily we pulled in last so we got a great look at the valley below on the way up. All too soon we were at the top and traveled through beautiful countryside and 5 more locks
before docking at Lakefield Marina for the night. The girls went kayaking to a close by beach
with Sequacious. After a walk into town and dinner on the back deck, it was time to turn in. It was a great day and will be a highlight of the trip.
