Day 71 oh Canada

Said goodbye to Oswego, MaryLynn, John and Barbara and set our sights on Kingston, Ontario, Canada. It was a cool, overcast day, but no rain was predicted. The winds were coming out of the south south west 10 - 15 mph. Unfortunately, we were going north so we took it on the stern most of the way. It was a rough ride - we did a lot of rockin' and rollin', but we also discovered what our little boat could do. We passed Yorkshire Island (pic 1) about 5 hours later - welcome to Canada! The next island we passed, Duck Island, had a cute little lighthouse and almost 90 wind turbines. You can't make them out in the 2nd picture, but they were there. The bay was crazy with all types of boats, but they had room for us in Confederation Basin Marina. They have a little holding harbor where you chill while they park each boat individually. Sometimes there were 5 vehicles waiting. The marina was packe since there is a bass tournament going on. We decided to take a short nap before venturing out - well, 11 hours later, we woke up. However, I finally feel like I've recovered from the last 10 days of constant boating. There was a big storm around 3:30am, so we were glad to be tied up in a safe place. Going to take a trolley tour and explore the city on Sunday.
