Pictures of Glenora Ferry on Adolphous Reach. Sailing in Quinte, Entrance to Trent System.
Aug 2 & 3rd had some great sailing weather from Kingston to Trenton. We anchored in Port Hallowell ( Picton Harbour) and next night in Murray Canal.
Weather hot, humid and sticky.
When we arrived at Trenton, via, Alphous Reach, Long Reach, Telegarph Narrows, Big Bay, Belleville, then Trenton. Some great sailing, broad reach and runs. some good waves coming across Amherst Island up to a meter and a half. All in a days work.
We arrived at CFB Trenton at 4pm to take mast down. Got stuck several times going into the crane, due to the weeds and low water. Eventually plowed a path in. No option.
Got out as soon as we could. didn't want the weeds to sink their roots into our keel.
Moved over to Murray canal for free tie up on canal wall. Dove down to pull weeds off shaft and prop. Unbelievable, they were wrapped around shaft 2" thick , fortunate didn't overheat. Checked out water strainers in morning, all okay. The down side of this area (Trenton) is the weed growth, Don't know how they sail here as the depth of the area is , generally less than 10 feet, combined with the weed growth.
Glad I didn't stay any longer up the Saint Lawrence or would not have gotten into this Club if we waited much longer.
Ciao, the Admiral is doing fine.
