Day 5 - Burritt's Rapids, ON to Black Rapids, ON




Brian and Mr. Frei did 31 miles today!  They arrived this evening in Black Rapids and were last seen looking for food.  Tim Horton's was out as an option because it was too far from the boats. 

Although they are now only 9 miles from the Ottawa River, word on the Rideau is that it will take about 6 hours, as there are many locks.

The Swan restaurant in Manotick had a bad review from Brian (Felix), but Mr. Frei (Oscar) really liked it.  I heard that his boeuf au jus was delicious.

They saw many McMansions along the Rideau this afternoon, and one was rumored to belong to Dan Ackroyd.

The weather seems to be changing, so they are hoping for fairer weather tomorrow as they enter Ottawa.

More tomorrow!

Many locks in Ottawa
