    Thanks for taking us along. We have traveled up and down a lot of the Erie and Champlain canals but never the Trent Severn. Looks very enjoyable.

    A really enjoyable video. I grew up in the Kawartha's and still visit as much as I can to swim in the gorgeous lakes there - Sturgeon, Pigeon, Balsam, Buckhorn, Stoney are all terrific. Georgian Bay is amazing.

      @@onFIREfamily What's next for your family now that you are wrapping up the loop?

      We are moving back into our home and dreaming of the next thing. Some of us are excited for some Pacific NW cruising. Maybe even to Alaska!

    Hi> We enjoyed the trip through your final lock, lock 45. Yes it's us in the bass boat that you were talking to in the lock. We have watched your whole trip now and have really enjoyed it. Hope you enjoyed Georgian Bay as much as we do every weekend.

    Just stumbled on your channel. I live in Orillia and do my boating out of Parry Sound, On. I look forward to following your travels!

    The elevator lock is so neat. You handle the rapids after lock 45 like a boss. Great video thank you for sharing. Enjoy the Ride.

    So great to see it in such a timely manner! We were just as happy as you guys were to be done. They are all so pretty, and the people were fabulous. Love the bloopers!

    All locks done means the end is getting closer. What an experience and what a memory. Good video and one you can reflect back on. Enjoy

    Can't decide if I liked the point of view of the lock in your intro, or the surprise of Mason's chicken suit more! The chute lock is a close 3rd. Great video. Thanks!

    Delightful video. That 65' lift lock was amazing. Thanks for display of throttle/thruster action when entering locks. Does your thruster work for more than 15 or 20 seconds straight? I've heard many electric thrusters can be run for no more than around 10 to 15 seconds before they fizzle out and need time to recharge. Really looking forward to Georgian Bay videos -- it is supposed to be highlight reel cruising.

    • @onFIREfamily
      @onFIREfamily  Před 11 měsíci

      Our thruster is a little underpowered against things like strong wind or current but does just fine in most situations. It also has never popped a breaker or drawn down the battery with continuous use.

    I'm not sure if U.S. requires people to learn international boating etiquette when getting certified or not, however I have noticed a disturbing number of U.S. yachts sailing in Canadian waters with their country flags flying wrong. As a Canadian Navy Veteran I find this so disrespectful. The flag of the country your sailing in flies above your country of registry flag, not at the same height, if you cannot fly two flags at separate heights only fly the flag of the country your sailing in.
