CS34 Trenton to Cobourg

Woke up a little after 8am, showered and got the boat ready to go.

It was then we smelt the tell tales for a pump out.
Liquid was coming out of the tank vent on the transom after my morning dooty.
$20 for a pump out at the marina.

Left the dock a little after 9am.
Thank You Trenton it was nice!

12 knots of wind on the nose.

Motoring along at around 5 knots, had to stop and backup the boat to remove the weeds accumulating on the keel!  With the weeds wrapped around the keel/rudder, I could not go more than 1.5 knots of speed under full throttle. Did this three times.

Brighton swing bridge opening for us:

 
$5 in the cup for the bridge master:


Coming out of the Murray Canal, 15 knots of wind from west through Brighton Bay.  Could have sailed with the wind on beam, but just motored.  Out into Lake Ontario past Presquille Point, 10 knots of wind on the nose to head to Cobourg.  Motored along at 2750 RPM at 6 knots.  FLAT WATER.


Through the binoculars, we can see all the other Newcastle boats
  • Cajun
  • Off Duty
  • Marietta
  • Silhouette
Pretty easy passage

We got a slip on F dock (north side of the marina):
