As soon as we tie fast to the wall I (RCB) walk to the end of the dock to have a look at small sail boat that catches my eye. It is a Dovekie, designed and built “in the States” and owned by DJ, a long time local who had immigrated from England a few days after he got married and has lived in the area since – except for the few years he and Mrs. DJ lived aboard the steel schooner he had built. I asked if he had any suggestions for good spots to stop and 2 hours later he left our boat and I had a bunch of notes on our charts. I also know where to find a sail maker in Kingston, if I need to outfit a square rigger with traditional canvas. DJ likes boats and so do I. Also here in our latest new neighborhood is Nancy and Greg from Ottawa, Greg gave us some ideas for moorings and hotels in Ottawa, and Nancy had a lot of shopping tips. And then Randy and Audrey, from near Toronto, has info just in case we should decide to go to the western end of Lake Ontario. Every Canadian we have come in contact with is extremely friendly and helpful even after I tell them that there are still people in our Pentagon working and re-working the plans for invading Canada. We need some place to channel the illegal Mexicans to.
