We landed in a beautiful little town, Kingston, Ontario. That is the good news. The bad news is that all our media is messed up. Shelley is in major withdrawals as her wi-fi is not working on Rock Chalk. We talked to Verizon and they tell us that if we use the mi-fi on someone else's network, that our normal monthly usage would cost about $6500. Spent that on broken propellers and drive shafts. So we suspended that service. Then my Visa wasn't working (I forgot to call them to tell them I was going to Canada). And our cell phones had to be set up for the International calling plans. Other than that it is a lovely country so far. Don't expect to hear from us. Just kidding, you thought you would be so lucky.
Actually they are having a big summerfest here in Kingston with plays in the park, bands playing down on the water front, and the town is full of people. In fact, Shelley and I thought for the last several days, that everyone left upstate New York. We saw no one. We were the only boat on the wall last night in Oswego, NY. We rode our bikes all over that town yesterday and it seemed deserted. We were the only northbound boat that we saw all day today. Now we know why...they were all here. Oh My, these Canadians love their small boats and this marina is full of them. I think this portends what our next 6 weeks will be like, as Canadians enjoy their short window of warm air and everyone goes outside or gets on a boat. Lets hope they know how to drive those boats, as I do not need anymore encounters with anything other than water, and gently touching up against docks.
Thunderstorms are forecast for tomorrow...80% chance. We're staying here, no Wi-Fi or not. We'll walk to Starbucks in our rainsuits and wait for better weather Tuesday.
