We cruised up the Trent Severn to Peterborough, ON on 7/13 and stayed over one day in Peterborough to see the city and buy groceries, get a haircut, etc.

The Trent Severn was frequently narrow but winding through pine forests and sometimes opening up into lakes and wide rivers. The narrow spots have even more narrow channels where you have to be to keep from hitting rocks, but it's quite beautiful scenery here.

Peterborough is nice, because the marina is right downtown and you can walk to everything.

Peterborough is an actual city with 10 or 20 blocks like this of downtown stores.

We visited a local farmers market and bought sweetcorn plus some oyster mushrooms and black currants. The corn was just OK but the Oyster mushrooms were really good (Kathy sauteed them and served over pasta). I don't think Kathy knows what she's going to do with the black currants. Maybe a sauce to put over cheesecake or flan.

We'll be going through the Peterborough Liftlock tomorrow, which should be exciting. A number of boats have hit rocks going into the lock area. We'll be extra careful and hopefully luck will help too so we won't be stuck fixing bent props.
