Lake Ontario

I came out of the Trent Severn late this morning, and am now cruising down the Bay of Quinte. Nice day, with a following breeze.

The trip down from Healey Falls was pleasant and unremarkable, except that I hit solid bottom unexpectedly. I thought I was in the marked channel but had swung a bit wide to give an oncoming boat lots of room. I was going slow and got into neutral and bumped over it. Charts showed lots of water. I dunno. Maybe it was a sunken car. There seems to be a lot of that recently.

I filled up with fuel in Belleville. 436 litres since my last fill up in Tobermory, 642 miles back.

Had a nice dinner out last night in Frankfort with a couple I met going up to Couchiching on their new-to-them Bayliner 4788. We traveled down together from Healey Falls. I hadn’t realized that there is a little downtown across the river. Another nice spot to stop.

I’m due in Gananoque in a week to meet Samantha Sarah and Susan. In the meantime I need to fix some stuff and get things habitable for guests. Will stop in Kingston for a few days.

You can see what interests me in my travels. The first is a Greenline 40. Lots to like beyond the hybrid power. The second looks like a very practical mini-houseboat. Cute.
