Day 17: Port Severn to Killarney, ON

Today we leave the Trent Severn Waterway. This is a cruise I have always wanted to do, I am grateful and thankful to Beneteau for giving me the opportunity aboard their Beneteau 34 Swift. The Cruise that inspired the trawler "The Greatest Loop".

I look forward to landing in Killarney. Names like "The Killarney Mountain Lodge" and Sportsmans Inn are both famous and infamous to several generations of loyal clientele. When we arrived early afternoon at the Sportsman I was taken back with the transformation of the place.  Where there was once a bar with a stove and rooms above now stands a real luxury hotel with air conditioning, room service and even a wine cellar. The Lady of the house and owner Rachelle McConnell has transformed the Wild West into Nantucket. Directly across the river she constructed an outdoor movie for boats as well as a Salon for the ladies. Killarney will never be the same.

During the summer months Killarney looks like a mini Ft Lauderdale Boat Show, the place to be. Catch up with old friends for eating, drinking and laughing.
