Ontario, Canada and going through customs the easy way!

July 5
    We crossed Lake Ontario for 85 miles.   Seas were less than one foot and it was a beautiful, warm, sunny day.  The crossing was uneventful.  We arrived safely at Trent Port Marina in Trenton, Ontario.  We checked into Canada via phone, which was so convenient!  This marina is really nice, new and clean.  The harbor host, Erik and Karen were very helpful.  They lent us their truck so we could run some errands and take a look at the first lock of the Trent Severn Waterway.  We bought our season pass to go through the waterway.  There is a grocery store nearby, within walking distance.  It was a great layover for a few days, to do laundry and grocery shopping.  As usual, Karl found a great running trail around the Lake.

Finally in Canada!

     We were walking back to our boat when we heard, "Hello Dr. Hempel!"   Karl turned around and recognized his patients, a couple from Tallahassee, Barbara and Jorge!  Wow, that was a shock!  They are traveling on their boat, going through a part of the same route as we are!  They had stored their boat nearby for the winter.  They have already done the Loop in 2015 and enjoyed this area so much, they decided to return!  We look forward to seeing and visiting with them along the way!
