Boat Trip 2014 - July 22

It's been a hard day.....as hard days go in boating.  :-)  We left Aubrey Island - near Gananoque - this morning.  It's just too crowded down there now with all the Quebec boats!  We went in to Picton, thinking to stay there tonight, but were told of some very rough weather that's supposed to be coming tomorrow, so carried on to Trenton.  From Gan to Trenton is quite a long run in a boat!  The weather, though hot, was pretty much perfect, and now we are plugged in and enjoying AC.  And, having eaten at Tomasso's, we are also satiated!

 
  We enjoyed another gorgeous sunset last night on Aubrey Island.

We always stop for gas at a marina in Kingston. They build boats for many places in the world.  This one is going to Seattle, Washington.

The Lafarge company has a factory on the Bay of Quinte, right where there is a break onto the lake between Amherst Island and the mainland.  This big lake boat can come in off the lake, pick up its load, and go right back out onto the lake to make its delivery.

As we walked along the waterfront after dinner tonight, we saw some skulls being rowed - at least six of them.  There must be a rowing club here.  We also got accosted by some young Mormon men - I think they got more preached to than they did preaching!

Yep, it's the right way up!  That's the way it was growing.  Wild flower?? Hmmmm!

 
 And some would call this a weed.  I call it a beautiful flower!  And purple loosestrife makes for yummy honey too, eh Jeff and Kerry?

And how could anyone call this gorgeous "lacey" flower a weed?
