Wow!  The wind really blew last night.  It started around 10:15-10:30 PM.  Greg got up (because Kate was up and fussing) and put 2 more lines on.  I was being blown about a foot off the dock.

We headed for Canada today!  It was cool with very little breeze.  We left at 9:00 AM and had a very pleasant ride, if I do say so myself!

We pulled into Confederation Basin and tied to a dock w/o power or water.  We met up with “Seamoore”, “Dream Catcher”, “Jeremiah”, and some other boats we met in Norfolk at the Rendezvous.  I like meeting with friends again!

The people walked around the park grounds for “A Taste of Kingston” – food tents with samples from area restaurants benefitting the Canadian diabetes Assoc.  Then they quick ran back to “Crawdad” and I because we finally had slips.  Yeah!  Hydro (electric) & water!

Greg popped a beer and took a nap, Kate went to the farmer’s market, and I just settled in.

Greg & Kate went to dinner w/Jim & Gloria.  They found a couple of Irish pubs, and a brewery.  They had a good meal at the brewpub and then walked around the city a bit.  We are staying tomorrow also, so there will be more adventures.
