I think we have everything ready to enter Canada,  passports, boat info, dog's rabies info and oops, I need to dispose of the basil plant, can't have anything with roots!

We have made it to Canada!!  We arrived at Confederation Basin at 12:00 pm with our yellow quarantine flag flying.  Once the boat was docked, Bob went ashore to call customs.  A short time later, he returned.  He said checking in with customs was fairly painless.  They asked him a few questions, name, birth date, my name, birth date, how much liquor onboard, and the date the dogs had their rabies shots and that was about it!  We then took down the quarantine flag and replaced it with the Canadian courtesy flag.
This marina is right downtown.  A short walk will get you to an array of restaurants, banks and shopping.  This is the most civilization we have seen in three weeks!!
We will stay here tonight and then tomorrow head off toward the Trent Severn Canal and the many different types of locks/lifts that we will encounter.

We stopped for a cold one, but the dogs couldn't come in

  1. Finally got a chance to check in on your trip - I'm on vacation this week and presently sitting under a beautiful shade tree up in Vermont with a glass of wine in hand - I am totally enjoying your journey! Sounds like you are having a wonderful time. Glad to hear Tucker (& Willow too of course) is doing well. Thanks for sharing! I'm learning a lot too! Enjoy your time!
