Day 346 July 4 41 mi Fraser Park Marina Trenton ON

Happy 4th of July
It is a great day!!!!!
We are moving on to Trenton ON with a 7AM departure.  Early morning is the best time to travel because the water is calm and the sheep are asleep......

Good bye Tip of the Bay Marina
 
 
Looper on a mooring

And they did on Prince Edward Island
