August 22 – Kingston Mills to Kingston City
\n44\u00b013\u203245\u2033 N 76\u00b028\u203246\u2033 W<\/p>\n

We woke up to a pleasant morning. The storms from the night before had moved on & a stiff breeze was drying Santosha off nicely.<\/p>\n

There are 4 locks at Kingston Mills – the upper one that is underneath the road & then three step locks down to the river that leads to Kingston.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were no boats waiting at the lowest lock so we were in luck & began our journey down at 9:00am. Less than an hour later we were through the last lock & on our way to Kingston.<\/p>\n

We arrived in Kingston Harbour about 11:30am. I radioed Confederation Basin Marina & arranged for a slip for the next two days.<\/p>\n

After getting set up on our dock space we had lunch & then Brent & Rachel headed off to explore the city & to go to Old Fort Henry.<\/p>\n

I stayed behind to do some more research for a marina near Ottawa where I could have Santosha hauled out & stored for the winter. It\u2019s a good thing that I started on this now because the first two marinas that I called for quotes had no space for me. Panic time!<\/p>\n

Thankfully the third place I contacted had space & their price quote was the best one I have had yet. I made arrangements to reserve a haul out around September 10 & said that I would stop in to see them on my way back to Ottawa next week. Whew, that was a close one!<\/p>\n

Rachel & Brent came back to the boat just in time for cocktails. We had a refreshing drink & a few light appetizers & then went out to explore the downtown some more & to find a restaurant for dinner. Time to give Brent & Rachel a break & let someone else do the cooking!<\/p>\n
