July 23 The highest lift lock in the world

We spent most of the morning roaming around the Peterborough lift lock, which is the highest lift lock in the world.   Of course, there are only 5 lift lock scattered about the world, 2 of them in Canada.  A lift lock is essentially 2 big bathtubs, one goes up as the other goes down.  The lockmaster fills the upper tub with one foot of water (that equals like 150,000 tons) and it causes it to go down and lifts the other on up.  After that experience, we pressed on to Clear and Stony Lake to anchor out.  The first few pics show the great lift lock at Peterborough.  Then Chelsea and Eliot consulting with the lockmaster at Sawyer Creek about anchoring spots on Stony Lake, and finally, the boys kayaking on the at the lake.
