Wednesday, August 5
Today started as another beautiful day. Jan and Loren wanted to be back in Kingston to drive half a day today, so we got started before 8:00. We had 10 miles to the only locks of the day, Kingston Mills. This is another single followed immediately be a flight of three.
When we got there they had a small boat half way up the chamber, we waited for him to exit then we went right in. We have been very lucky with short waits. From there it was only four more miles to the Kingston Marina
With no wait at the lock we were tied up about 11:30. Jan and Loren packed their belongs in the car and we said our goodbyes. They declined lunch saying they would drive awhile the
n take a break. We were sad to see them leave; it was great having them on board.
Diana and I relaxed and took it easy the rest of the day. I mentioned when we were here before the marina shipyard is building a 65 foot fireboat for Tampa, FL. Today they
were testing the fire pumps, this picture was taken right out the door of our boat.
Later this afternoon Pikka decided that if the captain wasn’t driving she could have the helm.
Life continues to be very good.
