June 28/30- We left Gananoque Marina at about 9:00 am when we got a call from Sid saying he was out at Aubrey Island and it was wide open. It took us about 10 minutes to get there and the other docks were open. We got settled in and went for a walk around the island with Sid and Evelyn. Unfortunately there is a sign saying we can not run our generators but as we have been here by ourselves we have been running them periodically. We need a new cell phone because our minutes are now finished on our old phone so we have decided to take the dingys into Kingston as it was the only place that has them. While we were in Kingston we verified our reservations with them and then decided to call a cab to get our phone. As we were waiting for a cab a gentleman in a Cadillac drove up and asked us if we needed to go any where. We told him our plan and he offered to drive us to the mall as he was going that way anyway. He went with us into the mall, waited for us to arrange for the phone, sat with us while we had a quick bite to eat and then drove us back to the boat. He was a former Looper and knows what its like trying to get around and get things. He would not take anything for his time and gas. We met up with the others who had been waiting for us, hoped into the dingys and headed back to the boats. While we were away unfortunately three sailboats had arrived on the dock and proceeded to tell us "no generators". It was ok for us as we are set up for this but the other two boats with us have a problem so things became very intense.
