Lovely sights, strange sights

Remember, a click on any image in our blog will open it up for a larger view. Here's a gorgeous lighthouse home on a point in the St. Lawrence River west of Clayton, New York. It was an overcast and blustery day, thus, the wind streaks the choppy water.

OK, whatever turns your clock, skipper. This unusual sailboat we met on the approach to Trenton, Ontario. She is Melodeon out of Halifax.

Our last overnight of the cruise was at the Fraser Park Marina at the mouth of the Trent River and start of the Trent-Severn Waterway which we might explore next season.

Craig Carter, whose family has operated the municipally-owned maria for 11 years, is a friendly and helpful dockmaster. With a supermarket and liquor store within easy walking distance, it's a great place to provision if you're starting the Trent-Severn. Both diesel and gasoline are available.
