Kingston is getting ready for Canada Day and Confederation Basin is one busy place. The transient docks are full....you needed a reservation....
Departure is 9:45AM with Kingston on our starboard and Wolfe Island on our port. We do not go outside on Lake Ontario and stay on the North Channel which is a clear 10-mile run to Upper Gap.
