17 July 2010
Met some other loopers in Kingston last night, Dream Fever and Branchin Out; first we have met since we left home. Both couples have been travelling for some time.
Breezy this morning, but decided to move on to Picton. Got a slip at Tip of the Bay Motel and Marina. Wind came up so we were glad to arrive and get tied up. Branchin Out decided to travel today and we are tied up next to each other in Picton. Went for a walk through the town, very busy on a Saturday afternoon. Pretty town. Storms passed by during the evening and a little rain, but we seem to miss the worst of it.
Son Adam came down from Toronto for the evening and spent the night.

About Me
- Wayne and Ruth
- We are both retired. Ruth is a Registered nurse, taught nursing at the local Community college; Wayne is retired from farming, sold farm products. We are the proud parents of 3 children and 5 grandchildren. We are setting up this blog to record our adventure as we plan for and travel the great loop. We started our adventure by finding "just the right boat" in Georgian Bay, Kilbear marina, in May of 2008. She is a 36' Senator aft cabin motor yacht, with twin diesel engines. Our big adventure that summer was bringing the boat home through the Trent-Severn waterway to Crysler Park marina on the St. Lawrence River. Then in July of 2009, we left to do the triangle, down the St. Lawrence to Montreal, up the Ottawa River, and down the Rideau Canal to Kingston, and back down the St. Lawrence to Crysler Park. Good way to get to know our boat better. We are spending the fall and winter of 09-10 preparing both ourselves and the boat for our trip. We left in July of 2010, heading up the St. Lawrence to Trenton, then back up the Trent-Severn system to Georgian Bay and beyond, completing the loop in the summer of 2011.
