On our way

---

We said our adieus to friends and family. We readied the boat and are fully provisioned for months so it is time to cast off.

It is a rainy day but calm. We enjoyed a nice breakfast at Joyce and Frank's so we bid farewell to Napanee, we are off on our adventure.

It rained steadily until 1:00 and the sun finally made an appearance when we dropped the hook. We were going to stop in Picton to top up our water tank but it was too wet for that task. We will take care of that further down the system. Needless to say we could not see much today as the visibility was limited. We did catch a glimpse of Kingston and Gananoque. The traffic was light and the wild life scarce. We saw swans, geese and cormorants. Some huge mansions on the Bateau Channel and along the small craft route were the only points of interest.


We are anchored behind Squaw Island and Sugar Island. There is some wake from passing boats but that will stop as the evening progresses. It is quite scenic with islands all around us, hence the name Thousand Islands.

We had a Bar-B-Que and are enjoying the peace and quiet, I love being on the hook.
