Done with the Great Lakes

Yesterday we left Toronto for an overnight sail to eastern Lake Ontario. The winds were on the light side but enough for us to turn off the motor and have a relaxing sail. It was calm enough that I got out the grill and cooked sausages on the way.

Initially our plan was to stay in Kingston Ontario but in route we found out that our friends Barry and Linda were in Alexandria Bay. A-Bay was a little too far and costly for us so we compromised and got a slip in Clayton New York. They were there to greet us when we pulled into our slip. We made it out for dinner and drinks.

If anyone else wants to meet up, let us know, we have some flexibility in our schedule.

We’re going to be staying in Clayton a couple of days. I need to work on getting more insulation in the freezer and refrigerator. I also need to build a fender board to protect my boat from the remaining lock on the St. Lawrence. The locks were not designed for delicate fiberglass boats.

Our next stop will be Montreal.
