Kingston To Jones Falls

We left at 8:30 and had to wait till 9:00 for the lift bridge to go up the Canal.  This part of the canal is narrow and winding and off to either side are lots of stumps as this was a man made lake.  We are paying lots of attention to our position. I had called Karen Raven and Bert Oltoff upon our arrival in Kingston but they had been unable to join us until today.  Karen called and we made arrangements to meet at Brewers lock for lunch. The last time I had seen them both was 30 or more years ago and it was fun catching up.  They stayed for a couple of hours and then we made our way up to Jones Falls for the night. My sister Prue and her husband Andre loved coming to Jones Falls and spent many nights here in the summers enjoying the peace and tranquility mixed with watching all the boats go by.  Unfortunately they have both since passed away and I walked around feeling for their ghosts.

We took Abby for walks up to the upper locks and Andre has a new friend. Nice dinner aboard with Martine and Andre then an episode of Outlanders and off to bed.

Bottom of Jones Falls.  We all sat on the swim platform and let the bass nibble at our toes.  The water is warm

More narrow channels.  Pretty tense in some of these places especially when you can see the rocks on the bottom off to each side

Debbie got off the boat and got some great shots of the boat going through Jones Falls
