Halfway through the job of cleaning the fuel and water tanks inside and out. It was a hell of a game getting them out - first time in 6 years.

With the fuel and water tanks removed, it has been possible to clean and repaint the hull.

While we were away, the boat was wrapped in plastic to protect it from rain and snow. This was our first glimpse on returning to the marina yard.

Beyond the tower blocks of Downtown are the sprawling suburbs. Our digs in Chinatown are dead centre of this photo.

Looking south from the CN tower, gave a great view of the harbour and out over Lake Ontario.

Got this cheeky shot of her peaking out between the tower blocks. It's a glass floored elevator going up the outside and more glass floors in the viewing platform.

We got this shot while at the end of the tunnel that takes water from the old power station back to the base of the falls. It took some engine thrust to keep the boat in place.

The boat trip was a must - but there was not much to see or photograph from this point onwards!

You get a sense of the size of the falls from the boat disappearing into the mist. That and the deafening roar.
