Entry #46:
Monday, May 27th: Surprise, contrary to the forecast I woke up to zero wind, water like glass AND a zillion bugs. I will post a picture of my blackened sails. I prepared my breakfast – cold oatmeal, apple sauce and water – yummy. As I took up my anchor, I found Poseidon’s lance in need of repair. I set my auto-pilot and sails in zero wind and proceeded to Kingston. I reserved a slip at Confederation Basin Marina, took a long hot shower and had a warm cooked meal for dinner.
Tuesday, May 28th: When I was a child growing up in Ontario, I had always wanted to visit Kingston. In many ways for me, Kingston represents Canada’s “on guard” – think Annapolis, Maryland.
As I walked to Starbucks to update my blog, I found the city very clean and people friendly. The city is known for its limestone buildings and fortress. I appreciated seeing the older buildings being renovated rather then demolished. Lots of history and the sight of tourists. Lots to do and sight see. Dozens and dozens of restaurants and pubs reminding me of a combination of Birmingham/Traverse City but with a deep routed history. Great place to re-visit.
