We departed at 10:30 for our 23 mile cruise west to Gananoque, Ontario. Nice marina and town which we are told is the gateway to the Thousand Islands in Canada. We also need to clear customs/immigration there. We arrived at noon and backed in to our slip. I left the crew on board per Canada Law and found the phone to call immigration. They asked who was on board but more importantly did we have any weapons, tobacco or alcohol. No to the first two and yes to alcohol. We ended up paying duty on 17 bottles of wine and two cases of beer in excess of the allowance. Duty was $50 paid by Visa.
I am breaking Ian in on crew duties, here he is becoming a "cableman" in training. Some marinas have cable TV, not many, but when they do we plug in via this cable.

Even the fireplugs are cute in Gananoque.
The pictures do not do the beauty justice. It is magnificent scenery.
