To leave behind the big city of Kingston with its Tragically
Hip Way (named for a Canadian band supposedly big stuff—Fitz and I have never heard
of them), the educated (Queens College, Royal Military College, St. Lawrence
College) and imprisoned (big prisons here) of Canada was hard to do after just
2 days but we are anxious to get to the Trent-Severn. We also leave our traveling buddies-Rahn de
Vous—they are traveling up the Rideau.
The weather window presented itself and we took off. We bought the Canada plan for our phones so
we can text and call but that is about all.
I have become addicted to the Navionics and weather apps on my phone and once we left
the Confederation Basin Wi-Fi, I could not get either so we are winging it
like the pioneers of 5 years ago. Around
2pm we pulled into a fantastic anchorage in Picton Bay at Hopewell Mills
inlet. It is beside an abandoned marina
(sorta spooky) but it made for a deep, calm, well protected anchorage (albeit a
little buggy). Sunday morning we put
down the dingy for the first time since we were on the Chesapeake and went into
explore the little town of Picton. This
little burg had more boats than people but was very picturesque. Fitz heard
from the kids to wish him Happy Father’s Day so he fell asleep with a smile on his
face—Life is Good.

| Picton is so far from a big town, I am surprised that more don't fly in |
