We left the Golden Anchor Marina in route to Marina de Hull to spend two nights getting ready for Chris to arrive 1 August. As we approached Ottawa, we contacted the Hull Marina to ensure they had space for us. Space for a boat our size did not become available. So we briefly stopped at the Rockcliffe Boathouse Marina to reassess our plan and options. We ended up backtracking 5NM to the Kitchissipi Marina, who is protected, has laundry facilities, grilling area, and the other necessities we were looking for. We intend to stay two nights here then go to the lock wall at the start of the
Rideau Canal - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will briefly tie up and wait for Chris to join us for a trip down the Rideau Canal—starting with the “flight of eight locks” in downtown Ottawa. We did laundry, FaceTimed with Chris and Grandma, watched a little of “If You Think You Can Dance” before heading to bed. Tomorrow we’ll get a rental car to do our errands.
