Here we are – at the beginning of the Trent-Severn Waterway,
docked at the Trent Port Marina! Today (Thursday)
was a rainy 40 mile journey from Picton but that was OK, no locks to deal with
& we both stayed dry!! And I made
use of the easy navigation (only 1 set of eyes needed at the helm) to get the
inside of the boat CLEANED!! And then
the aft deck got a serious dose of elbow grease! After the Erie & Oswego
Canals…this boat was filthy – slime, grime and crud from the lock lines…UGH!!! But all is shiny and clean on the inside!
HAPPY!!!

| Now that's a patrol vehicle - the thin blue line is real |
Trent Port Marina is wonderful and quite large. But more
importantly it is staffed with the friendliest crew…and YES, they know how to
assist docking a boat! Such a great stop and we are so blessed to be here until
at least Sunday (maybe Monday, weather permitting).

| This dinghy made me think of someone "not dinghy"! |
We were able to take a nice walk through part of Trenton and
found several unique stores, post office and of course restaurants. Naturally, most of the businesses will be closed
on Saturday – Canada Day!! So Friday
will be shopping time for me.

| No dock carts here - top notch service |
Looking forward to seeing a LOT of loopers over the next few
days…you know who you are!! So our blog may be filled with pictures and a
little less narrative – there’s just so much fun waiting!
Happy Friday, Happy Canada Day, and Happy Independence Day –
that’s a lot of happy!!
God Bless!
