Day 64 Total miles to date 1189
Today was spent touring Kingston! As planned we took our dinghy (A Little Carried Away) into the day dock
at Confederation Basin (about 2 miles from here) and spent the day seeing
Kingston. We began with a one hour narrated tour by trolley car which provided
us with an excellent overview of the history of Kingston. Following our tour we
saw Brooks and Sarah as they were arriving, and we went to lunch together at
Chez Piggy and had a very good meal. We said good bye to them and walked around
the various shops. We also stopped to watch the street performers. They were
here as part of an annual Buskers Festival with performers from all over the
world performing for free. Many people
were there to watch the entertainers!
One of the shops we went in was a general store that had marine supplies
on its mezzanine level. The clerk said we were his lucky 13 – we were the 13th
Looper couple to visit since the boating season began this summer! We did buy
two more Port Guide books for the Trent Severn and the Georgian Bay. We also
bought two more fenders for the boat.
