During the day of Hurst skilled workmen crawling all over the boat, Tom and I took a bike ride into Osgoode, Ontario. We had to ride on the highway with no shoulder on the five mile round trip, but saw a beautiful field of wheat along the way. We went to the Foodland grocery store. Since I still have basil and mozzarella from the Ottawa market, we needed more tomatoes. I also decided to make Fettuccini Alfredo for the first time and needed the ingredients (heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and of course the fettuccini).
Since we are having some fiberglass work done which is going to take over the weekend, but we wanted to make the most of our time here. After our dinner of Fettuccini Afredo (which turned out pretty well), we headed out to explore with the plan on returning to Hurst marina on Monday. Our next lock is about two hours away, but there is lots of day light after 6:30. We cruised past acres of tall standing corn and some interesting cattle barns along the way. One of them was
constructed of huge timbers and surrounded by dark red cattle with white faces. Before it got dark, we reached Burritts Rapids at the fork in the river where the lock begins the bypass of the 
rapids. Unfortunately, all the dock space was already occupied, so we are anchoring out for the night.
