6-23 Kingston to Trent

We couldn't remember much about our visit to Kingston 5 years ago. It is a city, not a town. Last time city marina was absolutely no help in the wind and rain helping to dock. It is nice to know some things never change, although the weather was only windy, no rain

Along the route we saw many farms and cows

All the restaurants in downtown Kingston had hanging baskets

We walked to the marine supply store, which also was the local hardware store and had an art gallery, of sorts, on a section of the second floor, next to the new children's wear section. On the way back to the boat we passed the Hotel and city building.

Sometimes the channel markers are IN the area to avoid.

sometimes they are not.


We left Kingston around noon after waiting out the remainder of last nights storm. A few hours later we found ourselves in a torrential downpour for about 1/2 hour. Luckily we were in the middle of open water and no other boat was crazy enough to be out. The radar turned completely yellow with the rain. I tried to show the black sky on the port and the bright blue on the starboard it was really weird. Glad we were heading starboard.
