Kingston

We left early and caught the first lock at 7:00AM.  Lake Ontario was pretty calm and we had an enjoyable crossing to Kingston.  We got close to Confederation Basin and called on the radio to get a spot.  Much of the harbor and docks are underwater here and there was not a lot of open slips.  They found us a 45' T head near the tour boats and we tied up for two days. The first night Debbie and I went out for Indian food and Debbie seemed to enjoy it.  Normally this is not acceptable but some boat neighbors recommended it and we were pleased with our dinner.

 Andre and Martine joined us the next day and we had lunch at the Prince George Hotel, just across from the Marina.  Andre and I did some provisioning in the afternoon and stocked up on beer, wine and booze for our Canadian stay.  I gave my new Canadian $ MasterCard a workout.  Dinner was on-board and then off to bed for an early start up the Rideau Canal in the morning

The lighthouse at the entrance to Oswego harbor.  Bye bye USA fr a couple of months

The Sir John A MacDonald in Kingston.  Right off the aft deck of the boat with a beautiful park in front of City Hall

Abby came for a few beers with us on the terrace at Marchants
