Sunday, June 27, 2010 Location: Kingston Ontario

We arrived Friday afternoon about 400pm to the Confederation Basin Marina in Kingston Ontario CANADA.  It was a long, unpleasant crossing the crews of both TADPOLE and BLUE MAX.
We were all so glad to see it behind us.  Just a little too rough.  Will attach a photo of Blue Max as she was making it across.

We spent yesterday enjoying the city, got our WIFI working, and were able to get a pay as you go phone.  So with all that and using skype, we will be able to stay connected - hopefully.

We leave this morning around 0830 and begin our journey up the Rideau Canal...and more locks....
and on our way to Ottawa where we will be met by Richard's brother, Doug, who will stay the week.
Hurrah! a deck slave!!!!! (He thinks he's here for a vacation.)

The weather today is perfect - as it was predicted to have been for the crossing.

  3. Wow. So many locks and some are over 34'. Incredible. Looking forward to your post on the Rideau Canal and the St. Lawrence. Looks like great weather at least! Stay well and safe! Seems FLA and especially TX where we are will have a bit of weather from "Alex". So much for a sunny family vacation in San Antonio! Russ & Elisa
