Oswego to Canada, crossing lake Ontario - Ep#10

I say goodbye to my brother and proceed into the Oswego locks system. Then cross Lake Ontario into Canada.

I'm happy to see wearing the PFD and gloves when working the locks. Keep up the good work and you seem to be a little more chiout on the locks.

Make sure if you have any future rainy day videos, you show us! We’d love to see rainy day cozy videos from inside the yacht! 😊

My son caught his first fish right where you refilled your fluid after the lock. We hope you enjoyed our small part of NY. I look forward to seeing the rest of your trip, safe travels !

Welcome to Canada!!! Enjoy the Trent - it's amazing.

Hey, saw you in Campbellford ON few days ago.. I was heading up river in my Highfield as you where heading to the town wall, got a wave from you. Was going to say hi on my way back down river, but you where busy getting tied up so I let you be. Hope the trip up the river has been good.

Bienvenu au Canada. Welcome to Canada

At about 14:40 in this video, in one of the Oswego canal locks, you can see a fixed black vertical cable mounted into the lock wall. These are much much easier to use than the hanging lines (which are free at the bottom). To use the cable, you loop a line around it, back to the boat, with a half turn on a mid ship cleat. Your line slides down (or up) the cable. You have much more leverage to control the boat this way than just hanging on by hand.

I just started watching your videos....great stuff...but....you need some kevlar gloves, a footbal helmet, steeled toed boots, a back brace...maybe knee and elbow pads and wear a life jacket ALL the time. Your luck is not good so far! Be careful man!!! Keep up the good work but be

Wonderful to see you at the Collins Bay Marina Kingston from a Kingston Boy. You missed out on not visiting Kingston the finest city in Canada

Like your philosophy on thruster use. If that's all you do, in trouble if something gets sucked into it/them and you've never done it engines only

[MrRules]

How about a follow-up on the steering leak. Did you find the leak? Your thrusters are not for emergency use only. They are a tool, just like your engines. Feel free to use them as needed to maintain your position or to assist in docking. Maybe you ought to get to a quick care office and have them look at your finger and put a proper bandage on it. You don't want an infection to spoil your trip. BTW, how many laps was that time lapse?

[theabsolutetruth]

Could you go over your boat again? Type, size, make/model. Maybe a tour around if you haven't already?

Safe travels!

[marxtr]

You need to either stop using the mandolin or start using the spiked holder that touches the veggies. Never use those things while hand holding the vegetable. Maybe see a doc while you’re waiting. May need a stitch or two. Hang in there you’re doing a great job other than trying to feed yourself🤪

[andrew-ilk]

i love your boat and what kind of boat you have ? its also inclosed to so you can drive the boat in the winter time probarly

[promacpic]

Sorry to hear about your finger. Perhaps you could recruit some spare crew from other boats transiting the Trent Severn canal to help you out through the locks while your finger heals. Don’t be afraid to ask for volunteers here too - I’m sure there are some viewers/subscribers reasonably close to some of the locks you’re transiting who’d love to help you transit or provision. I might be able to help you out at locks from Kirkfield to Port Severn depending on when you’re transiting that section.

[lesliefleming]

Good luck for the finger. Trent severans got I need Lyft lock that I think you will enjoy

[jerplane]

Rainy day video request. How about a tour of your yacht and a background story of your life, work etc.

[nerdgarage]

Finger tip cuts SUCK for all the reasons you mentioned and more. Tip : Fold bandaid or tape over end of finger then wrap another bandaid/tape around to help hold in place.

[lordTowle]

You need to have blood clotting agent on board. Then some stuff called Nu-skin (it will burn when you first put it on).
Between the both, you would be okay.

Best of luck.

If this was already mentioned, forgive me. Be sure to fly a small Canadian flag off your starboard spreader (or whatever you got) as a courtesy. You didn't mention a yellow Q flag either but that's good stuff for a future video.
