Set sail for Gananoque, 44° 19.37N 76° 09.84W, to clear Canadian customs. The winds were fickle all day, and we started
out with our screecher, doing 7+ knots, anticipating a fun sailing day,
particularly when the wind got to 12 knots and backed to put us on a fine
reach. So the screecher was furled in
favour of the genoa, and we still had good boat speed. It was not to last however, the wind died and
the motors came on. We cleared customs
then headed for an anchorage off Bearivage Island, 44° 18.18N 76° 11.10W.
There were several boats anchored here, which encouraged us. On the other hand, it would have been nice to
have the anchorage to ourselves. Oh
well, the anchor set first time and we had a beautiful location, not too close
to other boats. We rowed ashore to
Beaurivage, another Canadian National Park island, and explored the
island. On the way back we noticed that
Quinita was pretty dirty just above the waterline, so we donned swimsuits,
jumped overboard with cleaning rags and cleaned her up. She looks much better now.
