Episode 22 - Day #3 - Kingston

Milton Island was great - we had it all to ourselves, after all - but the wind shifted overnight and we had a bumpy sleep with lines and fenders squealing. Around 4:00am I got up and fixed the worst of the squeaking by putting a microfibre cloth between the line and the hull. Reduced the friction, I guess, but at least we were about to get to sleep! It was fun to walk around the island, and again, I'm always so impressed with the great condition of the park facilities. Money well spent! And then, off to Kingston. It was a short hop, and the staff at Confederation Basin were great - from letting us know the best way to get into the berth, to having a deckhand ready for us, to the clean showers and toilets at the marina. I really appreciated the security of having a key-code to access the facilities and the marina. Dinner was takeout from the Kingston Brewing Company (https://www.kingstonbrewing.ca/) and we were joined by some good friends for food and drink on board! (We aren't reimbursed or paid or gifted anything by the KBC, by the way, I just love their food!) In the video, I mention the Martello Towers, part of the defences for Kingston Harbour in the 1800s. Here is some more information if you are interested in the fortifications... https://incredible-kingston.com/martello-towers/ And, of course, Kingston itself. What a tremendous city! Come visit - I'm sure you'll love it as much as we do! Here's a site to check out - https://www.visitkingston.ca/
