After 6 more locks, we come into Campbellford where the landscaping is precise in front
of the water front homes and the town spans both sides of the canal. We pulled up on the wall behind Gimme Time
and Cat in the Hatt where we registered with the Chamber of Commerce who run the show, dispense local knowledge and give us Wi-Fi access. We went to the
Stinking Rose Pub for dinner along with the other boaters where we ordered a
few flytes of the local brew and literally everything on the menu. The Pub offered the best people watching so
far –locals playing Uchre, the town matriarch holding court at the bar and one waitress (Meaghan) took care of both bar and food. Next morning, sporting a little cotton mouth, we are off to Duer's Bakery. Within a short walking distance of the dock, we had been told the bakery put out the donuts around 8:30 and they were gone by 11am--we stood in a long line and bought way too many but they were so worth it--similar and maybe a little better than our Krispy Kreme. We did the hour walk to the Raney Suspension Bridge to walk them off. Our last inverter battery should be delivered noon-ish and then we will take off for Hastings--a very fun stop.
