This was a magical day.
Beautiful/perfect weather took us from Clayton to Leeton Castle and, oh
my, the castle was magnificent. We went
up the St. Lawrence Seaway to Heart Island (about a
2 hour cruise), under the
Canadian/US bridge—I-81—to a Cinderella-like castle. Along with Karen and Craig aboard Rahn de
Vous , we toured the main castle in the morning and then around noon we had a
picnic on the grounds. In the afternoon
we went to the yacht/boathouse and the children’s playhouse (2 billiard rooms,
bowling alley and bedrooms), then the powerhouse and hennery—oh my, to be a billionaire. Then we went about 500 yards across the bay
and anchored for a calm, perfect night. All
day long we thought about our grandchildren (Leeton and Holden) and how they
would love this setting. Tomorrow we
will head into Kingston, Ontario—check into customs and dock at Confederation
Basin Marina for a couple of days before we head to Trenton and the
Trent-Severn Canal. Great first castle
of the trip and first anchorage of the trip.
