 Just a quick post for tonight.  We had a long day's travel getting back to Kingston, and decided to settle into Kerr Bay on Amherst Island for the night.  This has been an anchorage we've wanted to try for a long time, and our first impressions of it are quite positive.

Well, we're finally on the move again.  We had a great break, and a very good visit with Dar's father and sister during the week.  On the weekend, our kids and their SO's (significant others) came down to Dar's sister's place to spend a couple days with us.

The downtime from travelling while visiting Dar's sister has given me some time to get some work done on a couple projects.

The first project that I worked on was the completion of my VHF radio upgrade.

Trent-Severn Lock 6 - Frankford (2013-07-23)

We had a pretty short day today, moving a whole whopping 4 miles up the Trent River to the upper wall of lock 6.  We had planned on anchoring in front of Dar's sister's house, which is a couple more miles further north on the Trent, but this was such a nice spot that we decided to stop here.

After a great sleep in Hallowell Mills Cove, we raised the anchor at around 9 and began to make the run the rest of the way to Trenton.  Actually, it took a bit more work to get the anchor up this morning as it was really well set (I'm liking this new anchor), but up it came in the end.

The houses along Parrot's Bay were a buzz with activity yesterday, and many people were enjoying a nice summer Saturday evening.  A couple hours after sunset most of the parties finished up, with only a few loud people carrying on for a bit after that.  Once all the revellers had passed out, Parrot's Bay was actually quite peaceful.

Today was a long day, but a good day.  We shared the first locking down with another Mainship, a Pilot 34 named MiAmi, out of Manotick.  We cleared the La Salle Causeway Bascule Lift Bridge at the 1300 opening, and headed west across the Kingston waterfront.
