St Peters Canal and our first lock!

Hi F and F ( Familty and Friends)
Left Liscombe this morning at 8 am so we didn't get to experience the higher wind factor due to arrive this afternoon.
We slipped quietly out and regretted we didn't stay another night in this tranquil spot .But we need to move on. Once out of the river we headed north with again following seas Yipee!A good 4 hour journey brought us into  St Petes Bay. Again no sea  life  just 3 sail boats passed us by.
Our timing seems good as most of the school kids return to school next week and we haven't encountered problems with  getting slips so far. Finding the St Peters Lock entrance was a little tricky but two friendly lock keepers guided us in the the small lock .We only went 1 1/2 ft , but it was good practice for the locks to come.
Then on into the St Peters Marina where we were greeted by our friendly dock master Gerry..
Gerry offered us his GMC  4 WD  vehicle to go off to town any pick up some supplies at the Foodtown Supermarket. Past a couple of interesting museums and a Kilt making store. Will check it out tomorrow .
Rest time and the dinner on board with a nice Lets Dish frozen meal.Graeme cooked the Flank Steak on our Weber BBQ outside. First time we have used it on this journey.
Nice day and we were satisfied to  get of the  Nova Scotia Coast and into the Lakes  at last.
Over and Out ,
S and  S ( remember that means Skipperette and Skipper)
