All the way down the Lake

Owing to the prospect of severe thunderstorms and too much rain on the Bruce Peninsula, where we'd thought of flying, on leaving Hamilton on Tuesday we decided to fly east to Kingston instead. A good decision; the weather stayed fine there for another two days. This wasn't a new destination for us at all, but we had never before flown the whole length of Lake Ontario, as we did that afternoon for about 300 kilometres, sometimes over the lake and sometimes just to the north of it. The most exciting part was when we were told to keep north of the CN Tower at 2000 ft.

Landing at Kingston we left our bags at the Central Airways FBO and went for a pleasant walk round Point Pinole as we'd done on our last visit. The FBO receptionist was able to find us a room at the Waterfront Holiday Inn at their business rate, where we spent the night, with a steak supper on the patio at The Keg near Kingston's City Hall.
