Trenton, Ontario


We had a great time in Rochester with John and Joanie. Every day we spent some time on the boat. Joanie and I washed everything we could and did some grocery shopping to prepare for our venture into Canada. I think they might have the boating fever now and I wouldn't be surprised to see them at another time on our trip!!!

We picked up John Grafelman at the Rochester airport Monday night and spent the night on the boat so we could leave early Tuesday morning.

We got an early start on Tuesday, 6:15 a.m., and headed out across Lake Ontario. It was a great day to be out on the lake, not too rough and good visibility.



At least someone is watching where we are
going!!




We arrived in Trenton, Ontario about 12:00 and settled in at the town dock. When we
docked, Bob was the only one permitted off the boat until we had cleared customs.
He made a phone call and that was all we had to do.
All three of us walked to a restaurant for lunch and then found a bank to get some Canadian money. We were right in the town so everything we needed was close by.













The dockmaster was so friendly and helpful. He is the perfect person for his job. We really appreciated all the help and information he gave us. We are anxious to start on this part of the trip, it should be an exceptional experience.

To get to the chocolate factory:
From where you are docked, take the street where the LCBO is to the 2nd stop sign, lurn left and follow that street 3 blocks, the factory outlet is on your right.
