This morning the marina virtually cleared out at 8 a.m. with most of the loopers heading west including Quest & Marc's Ark. Our intended destination was Picton, ON.

| Leaving Confederation Basin |
 |
| 43 foot Kha Shing Vista - KARMA |
We passed our friends on KARMA shortly after leaving since we traveled at 9.5 mph and they were traveling at 8 mph. This is like our boat but 3 feet longer and a different layout.

| Following Marc's Ark |
About noon we decided that since we were almost at Picton ... let's go on to Trenton. Why not!!
 |
| Turn right at the light |
 |
| Frashers Park Marina |
Both of us had a full holding tank and needed fuel so we stopped first at the fuel dock then on to our assigned slip.OK .. do the math - 260 liters for $361.59. I think it was a bit expensive!

Several other looper boats were either here or pulled in after us so we had to get together at 5:30 for the ritual of adult beverages and food.

| Gateway to Trent-Severn |
Here is where we are.
 |
| Our friends on Blue Heron |
Craig and Barb have two of the nicest dogs with them.
Today was 71 miles - no locks and we got here at 3:30 p.m. Good run!
Tomorrow we are entering the Trent-Severn Canal which is 240 miles and 44 more locks. This will dump us into the Georgian Bay and a whole new world of the North Channel and Lake Heron.
Our position here is: N 44 06 .095 W 077 34.449
Shouldn't take more than 6 days! Anxious to see pix of Quest on the 'Big Chute'!
