    Kingston day 2

    July 25, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F

    Busy work day for me but Moki and I got a good walk this evening. Last night was swinging music in the market square and tonight is movie night… and there were lots of people set up to watch ‘The Italian Job’. Love that there so much outside activity. Gets dark too late for me to watch a movie though. Tomorrow we are headed towards the Trent.Read more

    Thousand Island

    July 25, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    1000 Islands liegt am Ende vom Lake Ontario im St. Lorenz Strom. Eine Insel muss 2 Bäume haben und das ganze Jahr über Wasser liegen, das ergibt dann 997 Inseln. Zählt man die restlichen kleinen Inseln auch dazu, sind es 1864. Der St. Lorenz Strom ist ein Grenz Fluss zwischen den USA und Kanada. Das musste wir 2 am eigenen Leib erfahren. Wir sind schon eine Woche in Kanada und ich habe versehentlich ein schönen Camping Ground am Fluss in den USA gebucht. Zweimal abends über den Zoll in die 🇺🇸 hatte jedes Mal gute 30 Minuten gekostet. Ok, das I-94 Formular war abgelaufen (gilt nur 6 Monate, wusste ich nicht) und ich hätte kein gültiges Visum mehr. Ich konnte es nachweisen, aber sie fanden es nicht im System, das braucht seine Zeit. Nun nach der zweiten Einreise könnte ich ihnen sagen, wie sie es finden, aber jetzt ist es schon fast eine Woche abgelaufen.Read more

    Kingston

    July 24, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 75 °F

    We are in Kingston at the Confederation Basin Marina for a couple days. Today we resupplied and James defrosted the refrigerator. Domestic stuff!! This evening Moki and I went for our walk and stumbled upon Jazz music. 🎶 Turns out it was a mix of music with some high energy dancing. Lots of fun watching. James joined us and then we went for ice cream. It was windy today and will be tomorrow also. Our miles have really come down the last few weeks… 12 miles today. Including idle days our average is 25/day.Read more

    Beau Rivage - part 2

    July 23, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F

    After visiting several islands we returned to Beau Rivage yesterday. This is our favorite of the four that allow generators and probably our favorite period. Today Dale and Carol joined us on the dock. Luna and Smokey are adapting to not being the only cat on the dock. No swimming for me today but I did get a nice paddle in. James took a quick dip before dinner. Tomorrow we are headed back to Kingston to reprovision and get ready to take on the Trent Severn. We’ve really enjoyed the Thousand Islands. Very few miles logged and lots of fun and relaxation accomplished.Read more

    Camelot Island

    July 20, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 75 °F

    We visited two more islands today. The first (Gordon Island) Moki and I walked the trail while James scrubbed the boat. While we were walking a fawn walked out of the bushes and stopped right in front of us. It would have been a great photo but we were swimming before coming to shore so I didn’t have my phone. Camelot Island has a large dock which is full. Luna is a huge hit on the dock which is good because she has no respect for personal space !Read more

    Gananoque

    July 19, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F

    Writing Day 131 on day 132 because we went out on the town last night! Had planned to stay on the island but we met some locals who said there was a waterfront concert in Gananoque 2 miles away. So we went over in the afternoon and hung out on the day dock. Gananoque has a really nice boat museum which apparently started out with a high school boat building class. The concert 🎶 is every Friday and Saturday thru summer in a band shell at a park adjacent the day dock. While on the dock we got a visit from the Canadian Border Patrol. He was nice. Checked our passports, asked how our trip was going, and told us to have a great day. Today we’re off to find a new island 🏝️.Read more

    Beau Rivage

    July 18, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F

    Today we made a quick stop in Kingston and then set out to explore the Thousand Islands. The water here is amazingly clear. There are 18 park islands that allow docking or anchoring. We settled on Beau Rivage, one in a cluster of Park islands. This one allows generator use between 8am and 10pm which will be needed tomorrow to run the Starlink so I can work. There are several docks located around the island and a trail that runs thru and around the island. Moki, Luna and I kayaked around the island after work. Luna wanted to go but then didn’t and meowed most of the way. The water temp is 73 and the high air temp today was 74. A little chilly but I still jumped in. This evening we went on a family hike. Luna was so tired at the end she let James carry her a bit. She’s now on the Princess helm for the night. We plan to stay here two nights.Read more

    Kingston Mills

    July 17, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F

    7 locks and we are sitting at the bottom of the last lock of the Rideau Canal. Kingston Mills was a flight of four locks 55’ total. We’re now in the valley and on the edge of Kingston proper. This dock does not have power but it’s going down to 58 tonight! There’s some beautiful rock ledges around us and outside of fishers (a lot) we are the only ones on the dock… in a boat anyways. Moki and I of course did some exploring around the grounds. We learned the name Kingston Mills refers to ‘The King’s Mills’ a saw mill and a grist mill built in 1784 to supply boards and flour for the loyalist settlers arriving the following year. At the time Kingston was called Cataraqui. Tomorrow we will pass thru Kingston on our way to the Thousand Islands. We are really enjoying our time in Canada. The Parks Canada Pass has more than paid for itself and I can’t say enough great things about the Parks Canada staff. They are all awesome!! Great experience !!Read more

    Upper Brewers

    July 16, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 79 °F

    Today we went thru Davis lock (where we spent the night) and then the flight of four locks at Jones Falls. We reached the Summit of the Rideau yesterday so now we’re going down in all the locks. The four Jones locks have a total decent of 70 feet which is quite impressive. After passing thru we tied up long enough for Moki and I to walk up to the Stone Arch Dam. This Dam was constructed between 1831-32 during the Rideau Canal construction to flood a series of rapids and falls. It uses interlocking vertical stones that press against each other and the rock ledge to stay in place. Workers are said to have called it the “Seventh Wonder of the World”. Stone Arch Dam is also known as the Whispering Dam because the arch shape allows sound to travel along its face so that someone speaking at one end and be heard on the other side. We are now one lock south for the night and arrived just as it was getting ready to rain. There was a weather advisory that called for toonie sized hail but most of the heavy rain went to the south of us. This lock has power AND showers. Site is nice too. Lots of grass for Moki and paths for walking. Water very clear with Secchi on bottom in 2.3M.Read more

    Jour 7 : Mille-Iles & Gananoque

    May 2, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    C'est parti pour une petite croisière dans l'archipel des Mille-Iles.
    En fait il y en a 1865, plus exactement, réparties sur 80 km, sur le fleuve Saint-Laurent, et de toutes tailles.
    Pendant la croisière, on peut y voir notamment le château Boldt, construit par ce dernier en cadeau pour sa femme mais qui ne fut jamais achevé suite à son décès. C'est un sacré cadeau quand même ! 😆
    Le territoire des Mille-Iles est partagé entre le Canada et les USA, on y retrouve ainsi le plus petit pont international du monde sur une île dont le propriétaire de la maison n'a qu'à traverser pour passer d'un pays à un autre ! 😅
    Toutes ces îles sont toutes quasiment ornées d'une ou plusieurs maisons toutes aussi jolies les unes que les autres. On s'y verrai bien en vacances ! 🏝
    La journée se termine par une balade dans la petite ville de Gananoque, porte de l'archipel. Lenny y retrouve un toboggan et nous on y admire la beauté et la paisibilité de la ville où l'architecture me fait un peu penser à l'époque victorienne et c'est plutôt chouette ! 😊    Read more
