Last night, Andy gave the railings another coat of Cetol, and was entertained by the baby ducks, which were curious as to what he was doing, and kept swimming by the boat.

We also saw this  boat being taken on a  sea trials- they are made here at the Kingston marina by Metalcraft  which is  known for their fire boats, this may  be for some other type of fire fight.

Andy returned the car and we departed from Kingston Marina at about 1145, so that we could make the noon opening of the Kingston LaSalle Causeway.  It was a great day, hot, low 30’s, very little wind.   Leaving Kingston we went by Fort Henry and CFB Kingston.The trip was very scenic with lots of little islands, We are in the region called the thousand islands.   We took the Bateau Channel and cruised past some cottages and amazing homes, as well this cruise boat passed us, as we waited for the cable ferry to finish it’s crossing.We made it to Trident Yacht club by about 1:45,and tied up to our slip.  We were able to come to this marina, as a guest of Margaret Vermeersch, as she is away in Europe and hasn’t put her boat in the water as yet.  There is mainly sailboats here- but that’s OK as our boat only looks like a trawler it was actually made by C & C sailboats back in 1985- so we fit in.  I’m hoping Erin had a great Birthday!!

The old guy made scones this morning for breakfast, nice treat- he hasn’t made them since Myrtle Beach.  Andy then did some polishing and staining on the outside of the boat, while I cleaned the guestroom for our visitors- Brian and Helen who will be joining us on our trek up the Rideau canal later this week .  It is another gorgeous day- thermometer just hit 30, there is a bit of a breeze so not sweltering.  Enjoying the weather and reading another book- Life is grand!
