Lake Ontario continues to be a weather system destroyer. The weather that has been hitting Lake Erie continues to stop somewhere south of us. We have had several great days, visiting Cobourg, and crossing the Murray Canal, a short and beautiful waterway the connects Presqu'ile Bay with the Bay of Quinte.



I will post some Murray canal pictures in the Gallery at the end of this trip. There are two swing bridges on the canal, and it is a toll canal. They have the toll collection down to a science, with the bridge tender using a long handled basket, much like the old church collection ones to take the money.



Trenton as everyone knows is the start of the Trent Severn Waterway, which we would love to take some time, but our deep draft is too much for that journey. The new Trent Port Marine that opened in 2015, is a welcoming place with the most beautiful boater's showers and lounge we have ever seen. They also have Brass Valet Carts to carry finished laundry back to the boat, more like a 5 star hotel than a marina.



Tomorrow, we hope to meet up with another old friend who has a mooring ball in Prinyer Cove. Our plan is to go as far as Kingston and then start the trip home, it is amazing how time flies when you are having fun.



We miss the CYC Regatta festivities, but continue to monitor through facebook.



Fair winds and following seas.
