Even rainy days are fun on the water. Le Boat hosted a look-through of its boats and a trip through the Beckwith St. Locks early in the afternoon of June 13. The boats — some small sleeping only four, and others larger sleeping eight — were immaculate and ready to go. The larger boats not only have four bedrooms but each also has a toilet and shower. On the upper deck of the larger boats, a barbecue and outside sink entice visitors to the Rideau system to spend as much time outdoors as possible. The two boats headed into the Automated Locks, dropped 26 feet in under 15 minutes and headed out to Lower Reach. Photo credit: Sally Smith.
