We say good bye to Kingston and head out on Lake Ontario for a long day's journey.  We decided to go all the way to Belleville because the weather tomorrow may not be favorable and we wanted to get as close to the Trent Severn Waterway as we could today.  The water on the lake was smooth as glass for a good part of the day, making for a very comfortable trip.  By the time we arrived at our destination, Meyers Pier in Belleville, the wind had picked up somewhat.  The dock staff was on hand to help us into the slip and with Bob's excellent boat handling, made quick work of getting tied up!  We noticed a boat on our dock that had a looper flag and stopped to chat with them.  They, Bruce and Ann on Happy Hour, are planning their loop trip and hope to start next year.  A restaurant at the marina opened approximately three weeks ago, so we decided to give it a try.  We choose the fish and chips and a pitcher of margaritas, both were excellent!  On the way back to our boat, Bruce and Ann invited us aboard for a cocktail.  They are local to this area and gave us some information on our upcoming travel on the Trent Severn Waterway.

Goodbye to Kingston
