Kingston Confederation Basin Marina

44 13.629N
76 28.721W

Dinner with fellow "loopers", Owen and Linda aboard Kokomo II.  We last saw them in St Anne du Bellevue.  Ed and Owen were comparing notes on getting into the slips with high winds.  They both aborted their trys at least two times and, of course, we had an audience on the dock.  Kokomo II came in two days before us.

City Hall.  Kingston is a large city on Lake Ontario and at the end of the Rideau Canal

Along the Rideau Canal
Kingston Mills, flight of three.  There are four all together but the first one is separated from the other three by a turning basin

We finally got a picture of a Loon.  Most of the time they dive when you get close

This guy was skiing in a skirt!  Did he loose some kind of bet?

After about five trys to anchor in Big Rideau Lake we finally got something to hold!  Another storm is coming, winds to about 30 knots so we needed a good hold.
