Up and away from Hastings City Marina early in order to beat the wind. Nice run across Rice Lake and up the river to Peterborough - population 78,000 and the largest city we will see until we reach the state of Michigan back in the USA. Nice marina right on Little Lake and fairly convenient to shopping and restaurants. Visited the Canadian Canoe Museum - a must see if you like old boats and great history. we spent about 3 hours and learned much about early commerce in Canada and it's dependence on the many different forms/shapes of canoes. We tried to visit St. Peter In Chains Catholic Church - but not open during the week - guess God was on Holiday. Found a great Irish Pub three blocks from the boat and shared a few pints!
Did I mention that we lost our refrigerator to old age? It died the night before and our first afternoon was spent getting prices, arranging shipment and lining up an installer - in Buckhorn, two days up the Trent-Severn Canal. We actually purchased a unit we had seen and liked at the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show a few years back - a
Nova Cool. So we bought a cooler and along with a small soft-sided on for grocery shopping, made it all work out.
