The non-bio brothers made it 27 miles today, and are now 60 miles from Ottawa! They set out at 8 AM this morning in a light drizzle, but the sun managed to come through from time to time during the day. They rowed across the largest lake in the Rideau system, which is reported to be absolutely beautiful.
They actually saw three other boats today, including a Jersey Skiff like the one that Mr. Frei used to own. They went through one of the locks with a tour boat, and managed to converse with the tourists a little.
Al spotted a Chinese "all you can eat" buffet in Smiths Falls, but was told no way, so they were off to look for another restaurant when we last heard. Poor Mr. Frei!
They are through with the open water now, and will be on the Rideau River the rest of the way to Ottawa.
Enjoy some photos of the Smiths Falls area.
