<\/p>\nOvernight at Poonamalie<\/p>\n
44\u00b053\u203234\u2033 N 76\u00b03\u203221\u2033 W<\/p>\n
We were up at 8:00am & off to the Roosteraunt for breakfast. This place is becoming a bit habit-forming!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After breakfast we walked over to the grocery store & stocked up with provisions for our trip. This is the best place to get groceries between here & Kingston so we bought a lot of stuff. It\u2019s a good thing that there were 3 of us to carry everything back to the boat.<\/p>\n
We cast off around 11:30am & headed for Poonamalie. Our timing was good because just as we were exiting the lock at Poonamalie a group of other boats were arriving from the other direction. We got the last space available mooring space with an electric hookup.<\/p>\n
I was looking forward to an afternoon of snacks & snoozing when I got a call from Steve Flewitt, the owner of Aylings Boatyard in Merrickville. He & I had placed an ad on Kijiji to sell my dingy & outboard motor & Steve had an interested person taking a serious look at them back in Merrickville. After a bit of negotiation over the phone we arrived at an agreement on price. Way to go Steve!<\/p>\n
I bought the dingy brand new in Florida in 2017 & had never used it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The outboard motor was pretty new too. It was a good setup but I believed that it was going to be a bit too much for me to handle, moving the outboard back & forth from the storage rack on Santosha each time I wanted to use the dingy. Catherine & I both like kayaks so I will use the money to buy a couple of smaller used ones. They will be easy to carry on the boat, much lighter for me to handle & we can have some fun with them exploring the shallower waters along the way.<\/p>\n
We had BBQ\u2019d salmon & corn on the cob for supper to celebrate our first day of the trip to Kingston.<\/p>\n

After the supper dishes were cleaned up Emily dug out the Yahtzee game. She ended up being the champion for the evening, handily beating her mother & me.<\/p>\n

Better luck next time, eh!<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we head to Newboro.<\/p>\n
