Kingston Mills Upper Locks – 44\u00b017\u203237\u2033 N 76\u00b026\u203231\u2033 W<\/p>\n

We got up shortly after 8:00am, had a light breakfast & then headed to Kingston for provisions.<\/p>\n

Our first stop was Canadian Tire for a variety of small hardware items & a couple of new life jackets. Then off to the LCBO for some liquid beverages & finally to the closest grocery store for food & non-alcoholic beverages. Fortunately for us all 3 stores were situated in the same general area and within sight of each other.<\/p>\n

By the time all the shopping was done it was past 1:00pm & we still had to get everything on the boat & then take the car into Kingston to park at a friend\u2019s house while we were away.<\/p>\n

There was no parking available close to the boat so we had to drop everything off at a wide spot on the road – as close as we could get to the boat. Once we were unloaded Catherine parked the car while Emily & I set up a relay system to get everything closer to the boat.<\/p>\n

\nThat was a real workout for sure!<\/p>\n

Once we had everything on board then we had to figure out where to put it! By the time that was done it was almost 3:00pm & we all needed a rest. It was obvious that we were not going to be able to travel anywhere with the boat today so we took a well-deserved break.<\/p>\n

Catherine & I drove the car into Kingston to park it at our friend\u2019s place & Emily stayed with the boat. We took a cab back to the boat & started thinking about supper. We thought it would be a good idea if Emily did the cooking tonight so she whipped up one of her pasta specialties.<\/p>\n

By the time supper & the dishes were done (by me) we were all ready for bed. We would get an early start & head for the locks at Jones Falls.<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
