Episode 23 - Day #4 - Portsmouth and Aubrey Island

A bit of a late start from Confederation Basin, and a pressing need to refuel. Since we were running off of our port fuel tank, and our fuel gauges were not very operational, and even less accurate, I was estimating our consumption based on a "gallons per hour" estimate. We had looked at Kingston Yacht Club for refueling, but they were closed, so we travelled a bit further West to Portsmouth Olympic Harbour. Easy to dock and fuel, and give Chloe a quick walk. Portsmouth is right beside the infamous Kingston Penitentiary - now closed, but open for tours during tourist season - and a point of interest for any traveller. Gas is pricey. This should come as no surprise! From Portsmouth, we cruised East, passing Fort Henry as we cruised up Deadman's Bay to the Canadian Forces Base Kingston Yacht Club (which is where we had our Sea Ray docked in the 2019 season). Lots of friends still cruise out of that club! Then between Howe and Wolfe Island to the cluster of islands south of Gananoque. We settled on Aubrey Island again, because we were able to grab that single dock to the south east, and it was perfectly peaceful and quiet...Mermaid Island was in the path of the wind, and Beau Rivage's docks were full. With that, a lovely meal, a fire in a wood-burning stove, and an early night!
