Tuesday June 19th.


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.
