At 7:00am yesterday, we were waiting with several other boats to go into the last lock of the Oswego Canal and out into Lake Ontario. We locked through, pulled in our fenders and headed for Ontario. The lake was calm - seas less than 2 feet - and there was a nice breeze.
We passed between Duck Island and False Duck Island, and went into the Upper Gap. We actually traveled about 20 miles through the waterway to get to Trenton. The scenery was gorgeous... rolling hills, homes and farmland, lots of sailboats out enjoying the breeze.
We arrived in Trenton around 5:30 and cleared customs. We were all pretty pooped. Our dockmaster recommended a wonderful place for dinner within short walking distance. As we sat in our booth, we all noted that we were "still on the water". By the end of dinner, we were still swaying but not as bad.
From what we have seen so far, Trenton is a very interesting little place. We will explore today and get back to you on that. Tomorrow morning we are hoping to check out their farmer's market before we head into the Trent-Severn Canal.
