Mañana on the Loop: KINGSTON UP THE RIDEAU

July 4/7- We left Kingston at 9:00 am as we had a bridge we had to catch at that time. We did 10 locks the first day and called it quits at Jones Falls. The next day we did another 15 locks and crossed two large lakes and stopped at Smith Falls. We did another 14 more locks the next day and stopped at the top of Long Island Lock. The next day we did 7 more and we had arrived at Ottawa. The dock was pretty full so we had to turn around in the canal twice which was a challenge and finally got a temporary spot under the bridge. Dave went to the marina office and asked about the reserved area on the dock behind us and was told he could dock there, so we moved again. We got settled then went to see if Something Special wanted to move up behind us as they did not have hydro where they were. Once we were all settled we pulled out our chairs and sat in the shade of the boat and had a drink as the temp was about 90 degrees.
