We slept in, had cereal for breakfast then took CJ for a nice long walk.  Along the walk we see these kids on a bridge cooling off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know what happens next, jump!!  They had to be local boys because we thought this guy was going to break his legs in the shallow water.  There were 3 of them and they all said where they were jumping was at least 20 feet deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"863\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-c-863x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1308\" style=\"width:631px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-c-863x1024.jpg 863w, https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-c-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-c-768x911.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-c-843x1000.jpg 843w, https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-c.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mid air correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"933\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-d-933x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1307\" style=\"width:631px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-d-933x1024.jpg 933w, https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-d-273x300.jpg 273w, https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-d-768x843.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-d-911x1000.jpg 911w, https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-d.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 933px) 100vw, 933px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The perfect spalsh down!  They said the water was refreshing and all them were having a ball.  It reminds me of a simpler time with ordinary things to entertain.  These kids have the right idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"865\" src=\"http:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-a.jpg 756w, https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-a-262x300.jpg 262w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll go through 44 locks on the Trent-Severn Waterway and we saw this picture on our walk this morning.  Hope this helps explain how they work.  Doug did some research and found out that the lock system has been declared a National Historic Site so they can be maintained, but never upgraded.  Guess that keeps the historical significance, which is pretty cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-e-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-e-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-e-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-e-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-e-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-e-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/youngs-point-e-1778x1000.jpg 1778w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the afternoon we decide to take the scooters to Lakefield, the &#8220;largest&#8221; town close to the marina.  It was quite a ride, about 30 minutes and we pass this cool sign.  It is a College School which is a private boarding institution.  The students attend this school after graduating high school with the hopes of getting career training that earn diplomas and certificates instead of degrees.  Mayors, councilmen, comedians and even royalty have gone to this school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn&#8217;t get a picture of dinner tonight, which is really too bad.  Doug made kielbasa and veggies on the boat.  It was a welcome treat to eat on the boat.  We liked it so much, we may even try it tomorrow, ha ha.  We&#8217;re ready to move on, so we are leaving in the morning hoping to make it to Buckhorn or Bobcaygeon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday was a hot and long day so we decided to stay here for the day.
