Brown Eyed Girl: Hastings, ON

Hastings, ON

Hastings Village Marina

July 3, 2012

We were going to Hastings on Tuesday and the first lock was less than a mile away so we could not leave until about 8:15. We had heard about the Dooher's bakery in Campbellford but it was closed all weekend so Ginny and Beth walked over around 7:15 to get some goodies. They brought back some good stuff that we ate before we left. The weather was good and the wind was light. We got to the first lock a little early but the dock master was very nice and let us in the lock early (we gave him some butter tarts for his help in getting a head start on the day). After the first lock we had 6 more to go before we arrived in Hastings. The ride was nice but there are too many darn No Wake zones for me. I know I drive Ginny crazy about going so slow and the big water is only a couple of weeks away so I will try to be a good boy. We got into the marina about 1:30 and got a pump out at the dock. Ginny and I went to Banjo's, a local great place for burgers, for lunch and then walked around town for little. We found The Beer Store and I bought a 30 pack of Canadian beer for $40 (ouch). After cocktails we walked into town for dinner at the Captain's Table which is really a fish and chips place but they had other things also. Ginny's Halibut was good, the fries were awesome (double cooked) and my burger was perfect. All in all a good day but we are off tomorrow for Peterborough.
