The Great Waterway of South Eastern Ontario, Canada extends from the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence River west to Kingston, north in the Rideau Canal or further west to the Bay of Quinte and the mouth of the Trent-Severn Waterway. Our location in Kingston’ s Inner Harbor Marina placed us next to friends Judi and Alain in their Novi Boat RAMHA. It’s been two years since we came to know them in Sarasota, Florida, but time just fell away. We enjoyed sharing meals together and swapping stories. The marina operator’s primary function is to produce fireboats and military-style boats used by both Canadian and American governments. Borrowing bikes from the marina, we peddled uphill to the Ft. Henry World Heritage Site. Dressed in period soldier attire, a young man led us through the fort as he told us the story of the War of 1812 from the Canadian point of view. We topped off our history lesson with coffee and strawberry shortcake in the bistro.
