Tuesday, July 14
We decide that we would take another day in Trenton. I had planned on two days from Trenton to Kingston, we found out it isn’t as far as I had planned and could be done in one. The winds today were down from yesterday but still a bit gusty. Fraser Park is a very nice and friendly marina. Craig and
Sandy who run it and are very pleasant and helpful.
I made another trip to the library for internet access, and then we walked a couple of blocks to a large A & P and picked up a few groceries. After lunch we took a walk on the river walk that leads from the marina back up alongside the Trent River. Diana got pictures of the small restored lighthouse in the park and a picture of the park and marina office from the far side.
Some chores got done and a great deal of time was spent chatting with other boaters. There were three fellows from Toledo, Ohio that had come up Lake Huron, thru Georgian Bay and down the Trent-Severn. They were now headed across Lake Ontario, up the Welland Canal and then west on Lake Erie. There was a couple who had just retired and were headed down the Trent-Severn and were headed for the Rideau the same as we were. There was a gentleman from Montreal who had done the Trent-Severn and was headed home down the St Lawrence. There was a couple on a sailboat from Montreal that had just taken the mast down to go up the Trent and then planned to spent the rest of the summer sailing Georgian Bay, and probably leave the boat there for the winter, and continue next year. There was also a gentleman from the Lake Simcoe area of the Trent Severn that had just purchased a used 40 foot Sea Ray in Connecticut and was bringing it home. He crossed Lake Ontario yesterday from Oswego NY. Each had something to contribute to some very interesting discussions.
A relaxing, enjoyable day.
