Trenton, Ontario, Canada – 6/15/06


Our next destination was to head to Trenton. A 38 mile run through beautiful waters with small cottages, large farms on hills off the water's edge. At times cautious navigation was required because of shallow waters and narrow channels. Overall a very pleasant day was had to reach this active town. Trenton is the beginning of the Trent Severn Waterway. We stayed at a very small, however very well managed, Trenton Marina.

So, now that we are in Canada we have to convert gallons to liters and US dollars to Canadian. So, a liter of gas was $1.20 and if you buy 4 liters that equals $4.80 Canadian. This equals about $1.056 gallons. You then convert the Canadian dollar back to U.S. and it equals $4.08 per gallon. That hurts! It's a good thing we were full when we left New York. We had drinks with Rick and Mary on Kismet as well as our friend Todd tonight after a beautiful day of cruising.
