July 6 – Kingston Mills Upper Locks

Kingston Mills Upper Locks – 44°17′37″ N 76°26′31″ W

This morning I moved from the lower level docks at Kingston Mills Locks to the upper level locks. Catherine & Emily were driving from London & it would be easier to load the boat with provisions, etc. from this location.

Catherine sent me a text message around 8:00pm & thought they would arrive in Kingston around 10:00. It’s about a 4 1/2 hour drive from London – not including any slowdowns in the Toronto area.

There was a beautiful sunset just before 9:00pm. Too bad Catherine & Emily weren’t there to see it as well but there would be lots more opportunities over the next week while they were with me.

They arrived very close to 10:00. The parking lot for the locks was a couple of hundred meters from the boat dock so we made sure that the car was parked securely & headed to the boat & then off to bed for two very tired commuters. They could explore the lock area in the morning.

We planned to go in to Kingston on Saturday morning for provisions & then decide where we should journey to next.

Cheers!
