Crossed Lake Ontario; July 7, 2011



Lake Ontario here we come!

Headed toward the breakwater - anxious to see the other side

Crossing into Canada - according to the chart plotter
Crossing time: 9 hours
Deepest we saw:570 feet
Water temperature: 66 degrees

Port of Entry and General store

Waiting to clear customs - the boat is in quarantine until it clears customs
 - only the Captain may get off
"Official" phone you must use to call customs.
Answer several question and voila, you get a Canadian number to display on your boat.

Where to attach the courtesy flag
Looks OK here, Eh?

Port of entry....can you find Lollygag?


Our Canadian adventure will begin with a 50 mile trip to Trenton, Ontario where we will enter the 240 winding miles of the Trent-Severn Waterway. Should be a good time, Eh?
