We're in Hastings, Ontario.
We cruised the Trent Severn Waterway another 30 miles and 6 locks today and we fit under all the low bridges with our radar arch up (hooray!). At one 22 ft. bridge, we only had about 10 inches to spare, however, there are not supposed to be any lower bridges. It's nice to have a short run day so we can have a late start after visiting the local bakery in Campbellford this morning for fresh donuts. Then, we also had lots of time this afternoon in Hastings after we arrived.

We pretty much walked the whole town in about 90 minutes. It's a one main street town about 5 blocks long and 5 blocks deep. Thia is one of the streets that just ends at the waterway and that's Nonchalance across on the other side. The town has three large churches, and some stores. About the only unusual and interesting thing was an old, very large, stone mill that is now a privately owned building and/or residence. It is overgrown by trees and hard to see but the stone building, mill stream and the millrace are all still there and looked pretty good. It would have been very interesting if restored to operating condition like the old mill at Mt. Vernon.

There is a lock and dam right here at Hastings (maybe that's why Hastings exists?) and the water is really rushing over the spillway today. I also decided that I had the time to go fishing this afternoon. I had bought Canadian fishing licenses for Kathy and me when we were in Trenton so we could fish in Canada. I went fishing on the other side of the bridge in this picture. There are eddies along the side of the rushing water and I fished between the fast water and the slower eddies.

I caught one nice smallmouth bass and lost another of the same size while reeling it up to the bridge. We ate this one and it was big enough for about a 4 bite filet for both Kathy and me. It was really mild and sweet tasting. Too bad I didn't land both of them.

Tomorrow, we're going to Peterborough.
