Day 6 - Black Rapids, ON to Rockland, ON

Rockand, Ontario
'

Mr. Frei and Brian did an amazing 33 miles today! There was no waiting at the series of locks in Ottawa, so they made it through all of them in 1 hour. Only two other boats were waiting.

Mr. Frei said that Ottawa was beautiful, but they did not stop at all. They entered the Ottawa River and continued 23 miles to a nice private marina in Rockland. Rockland is a bilingual community located about 40 kilometers (25 miles) east of downtown Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, part of the city of Clarence–Rockland. Rockland has a population of 9,210, The surroundings are very picturesque, but there are no restaurants near the marina, so they will be relying on their own provisions for dinner.

The plan for tomorrow is to row 38 miles to Hawkesbury.  

It sounded like a nice but uneventful day!
