It has been well over a month since my last post.  I have finally recovered from the vacation on the Garbage Scowl. The 40 ft houseboat on the Ottawa River was a nightmare all unto it’s self.  Never mind vacationing with another family in close proximity; 3 teenagers (one of which who was prepetually bored); and the 7year old who does not know when to stop asking questions. It was the boat itself which was awlful.

Think of a delapadated RV stuck on a raft with a 4 cylinder motor.  It don’t get much better than that!

The river was beautiful and going through the locks was fun once we learned how not to crash into the other boats, the lock doors and the lock walls.
