End Of Season

The Trent Severn Waterway has now ended it's navigation season and will remain closed until May/08. I will try to post the numbers for the season as they are available, but preliminary reports state that user numbers were up for the 2007 season. This was thanks to the better weather conditions we enjoyed, as well as no extended disruptions, as has been the case in past seasons.

In 2004 the system stayed closed longer than scheduled, as there was considerable flooding in May of that year. Two years ago, the unionized staff had a small labour disruption. With happy staff and happy weather this past season, boaters - as well as land based visitors - took advantage of the system.

Let's hope for similar conditions in 2008!

A 'House Boat'?

I found this unusual picture while reviewing some boating blogs - or at least blogs with boating content. A house being transported onto a barge and across the water. A 'houseboat', perhaps? For the short term, any ways. . .
