| Gathering in Perth Basin |
Note: click on pictures for full size view.
On
Monday the South Wind Brigade blew into Perth from Kingston.
And
then the next day it headed down the Tay Canal, through the Beveridges Locks,
and into the Rideau Canal.
In
just a few days, on July 1st, it will meet the three other brigades
in Ottawa to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday.
Here
are a few pictures to record this historical scene. Never before has the Tay Canal seen anything
like this - except, of course, for the spectacular finale of last year's Settlers Trek!
