Trenton, Ontario

We arrived in Trenton on a beautiful day. Tomorrow if the weather is good we will be playing golf with our friends Joan and Joe here in Trenton. We will be here a few days while waiting for Marie and AJ Shaw to join us.

Picton, Canada--July 16, 2007

We have finally gotten the hang of leaving early in the morning to travel to our next destination. The motoring from Cape Vincent to Picton was very calm and beautiful. Picton is a very thriving town in the Bay of Quinte just off the coast of mainland Ontario.

Internation Ferry at Cape Vincent


Cape Vincent, NY Sunset




What a beautiful sunset after a very rough ride from Sackets Harbor. The prediction was for three foot seas and winds 10 to 15 knots. So we set off to cross Lake Ontario to Canada. After about an hour and a half of very rough head on waves of 3 to 5 feet and winds gusts to 24 knots we decided to duck into the St. Lawarece Seaway and head for Cape Vincent. We were glad to get into port.

Scaketts Harbor with boat in background

As you can see, we have the boat in the background of the picture. Sacketts Harbor is just a beautiful town. All the properties are well kept and everyone has lovely plantings in their yards and on the curb. A great place to visit. We finally got Ed in a picture!

We got to Sackets Harbor after an easy passage from Oswego. This area is rich in battlefields for the War of 1812
