Crates Marina in Belleville, ON (Limerick Lake)
Day #375: Mike and I were up at 6:30 A.M. Kyle and Ed made breakfast; eggs, bacon and cinnamon rolls. After packing it was time for Kyle and Ed to take Mike and I back to Belleville. The four of us loaded all of our luggage into the boat heading to Limerick Lake Marina and Resort. Ed drove the group of us back to Belleville stopping at Metro Inc. a grocery store so that we could pick up groceries. Ed then took Mike and I to The Beer Store. Mike and I had not been in a beer store in Canada. Ed showed the two of us that you go up to a kiosk where you can see what beer the store has in stock once you know what you would like to purchase you go to the counter the cashier takes your money and gives you your beer order. The four of us then headed to the marina where Ed and Kyle helped Mike and I to load of our luggage and groceries onto the boat. It was then time for the friends to say their farewells as it will be February until they see each other again. After Ed and Kyle headed out Mike and I started putting all of their items away and I started working on a load of laundry. Mike realized that the two of us had not switched the 12 volt refrigerators over to 120 volt and at some point the fuse had blown. Mike was able to fix both of the refrigerators but we lost tonight's dinner, creamer and grapefruit juice. I was watching the weather radar, rain was moving in so I was able to get the laundry completed before the rain began. Mike worked on navigation on the Trent-Severn Waterway. Kyle and Ed texted that they had gotten back to the cottage although windy they did not get rained on. Here in Belleville it sprinkled on and off but at 5:00 P.M. the rain became more steady. I made cowboy beans for dinner. The two of us ate our dinner at 6:00 P.M. At 7:00 P.M. the sun came back out it was beautiful. After dinner it was time for blogging and additional navigation planning. Mike and I listened to a Jimmy Buffet concert. The plan is for Mike and I to travel on Sunday for 1 1/2 hours to Trent Port Marina which is the beginning of the Trent-Severn Waterway.

Thanks to Kyle and Ed for buying these for us. These are made in Belleville, ON. They are a mix between a cheese puff and Cheetos. They were delicious.
