The world needs to learn more about the Trent Severn & the fresh water lakes!
Totally agree! Beautiful part of the world.
Bad year for seaweed on the Trent-Severn lakes
Yes, it really is. Rice lake was bad as well, and we're seeing it in the marinas on Lake Ontario too. Mild winter maybe helped with early growth.
Most prop strikes are people going on wrong side of the marker outside of the channel been on the Trent over 30 years. A certain company is renting boats no license required recipe for disaster
Agreed. The bigger risk during our travel was having to pass a larger vessel heading towards us in a tight channel. We just shut it down to an idle and got close and personal. No sense pushing out past the markers like you say.
how easy it to damage a prop?
We traveled through with a boat draft of around three feet without issues, other than weeds. As long as you stick to the marked canals. There are spots where the canals are too narrow to pass another boat. It is very rocky - these are the spots that are scary. The weed risk is more on your shaft bearings and transmission. Puts quite a drag on them chewing up a lake of weeds. I wouldn't go through myself, in a bigger boat than we did.
@@DIYwithKevin ya i was checking out rice lake on my kayak just this wknd, weeds are really bad this year
Noticed that too. Rice Lake is especially bad. More shallow than many.
Milfoil would be what those weeds are 👍
Thanks for providing the name! Crazy stuff, spreads so easily.
