All of the clips in the video were filmed on Sunday July 11th, 2021. This video summarizes the second day of my 2 day weekend canoe trip from Washago to Port Severn on the Trent-Severn Waterway.
There has been a 10 month delay between when I filmed these videos and when I am posting it. On similar videos I've posted in the past, I've received comments from viewers who felt inspired to try a similar trip of their own. I decided to save this mini-series to post at the very beginning of the paddling season so that anyone who's interested to trying this section of the Trent-Severn can start planning their trip right away.

In this episode, I awoke in my tent at the bottom of the Swift Rapids Lockstation and paddled west along the Severn River to the Swift Rapids Lockstation. I took the canoe through 2 locks: Lock 44 - Big Chute Marine Railway and Lock 45 - Port Severn. I paddled under a total of 3 bridges including the CP Rail Bridge, the Port Severn Swing Bridge and Highway 400. After going through the final lock, I paddled out into Georgian Bay before turning around and going back up the lock to get picked up at the boat launch on Kelly's Rd.

The canoe is a Bluewater Peterborough 16', made of Kevlar and manufactured in Guelph, ON in the early 1990's. The GPS I used for the trip is a Garmin eTrex 30. I filmed this video using a Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphone. While I normally film with this device in 4K, I mistakenly had the camera set to a lower resolution for the duration of this day.
