July 18 - Day 12 - Friday Henry's to Port Severn

Departed Henry's around 10:00 AM en route for Rawleys in Port Severn. Ronnie hit a rock approx. 1/2 hour away from our destination. Filou pull him up to the Marina. No one was hurt. We enjoyed dinner at Rawleys resort and sang with Eric at the piano. but the spirit was not there. They trailered their boat back to St-Zotique on Saturday and Filou and He-ro II went on.
Rawley $1.75/ft

July 27 - Day 21 - Alex Bay back to Greg Quay

Departure 10:00 - (Filou left after us) Nice sunny day. report back to custom in Brockville. Then one of our engine overheated - Rollie changed the impeller but that was not the problem it was the water pump of our starboard engine. Therefore we came back on one engine at 8 mph. A little stressfull for my liking . Going through the 3 locks with wind and one engine is not my choice of entertainment. We arrived at 22:30 in Greg Quay -- So many bugs cannot describe it.
Jackie had informed James and other friends on the dock of our problem. They were waiting for us on our dock to help. It was great to see our family boater from the Marina.

HE-RO II SIGNING OUT
