Big Chute Marine Railway

So we have done 75 locks including two lift locks that were very cool. But yesterday we arrived at the Big Chute Marine Railway.... this was awesome. Sand Dollar was taken by rail out of the water and over a hill! The entire process to 10 minutes.

Looking down to where we will be going

A cable system move the cradle on the rails


It’s a pretty big rig!

We arrived at Port Severn, the end of the 240 mile long Trent-Severn Waterway. From here we enter Georgian Bay, land of 30,000 islands! We will spend the next week at many remote anchorages.... so very cool!
