So far this trip we have a tradition of going for an invigorating
morning bike ride, which we continued today.
Clayton has a beautiful antique boat museum which we explored in the
morning. We could have spent the whole
day there but only managed a couple of hours before setting sail for Kingston,
ON, 44° 13’.70N 76° 28’.72W.
There were several steam launches in operation. We set off with strong headwinds and a foul
current, but after passing through Wolfe Cut we were able to hoist sails and
had a wonderful sail to Kingston. We
cleared customs, broke out the champagne and smoked salmon. (Well we had to drink it sometime, so
entering Canada seemed as good a time as any…).
We dined at the Kingston Brewing Company and some of us
partook of some truly excellent beer.
