Trenton Aug 18/12

Ah, so THAT'S how the rope got untied!

Beautiful sunset on our last night in the 1000 Islands.

A heron came to say goodbye just as we were about to cast off.      We left early in the hope that we would beat the wind.  By the time we had filled up with gas in Kingston and started for Trenton, it was only 8:15 a.m.  We were in luck - the wind was out of the NW, not coming in off Lake Ontario as we went past the 2 gaps to the Bay of Quinte.  We had smooth sailing for the 3 hours it took us to get from Kingston to Trenton - never even had to slow down for anything.

A LaFarge boat filling up or unloading at the LaFarge plant.

The Glenorra ferry loading.

I'm not sure why this big Coast Guard boat was just outside of Picton.

Arrived in Trenton in time for lunch at Tomasso's - m-m-m, I love their food!  And it was a beautiful day to sit on the patio - not too warm, not too cool.

Came across this lovely fellow, wondered if it was a brown recluse, but I googled it, and I think he is a grass spider.

Sorry, nothing too exciting today.  Just stocking up with enough food to get us home, walking around the downtown, relaxing, etc.  Tomorrow after church we will be starting up the Trent Severn.
