Bay Of Quinte Yacht Club

Channel from Picton, ON to Bellevue, ON.

Looking ahead at the upcoming marina, Bay of Quinte Yacht Club.  Can I find our slip?

We stayed two nights in Belleville, Ontario at the Bay of Quinte Yacht Club.  It is a wonderful stop with friendly folks who are so willing to give us local information.  The 'Learn to Sail' program was last night, with pizza afterwards which they shared with us.  One member graciously took us to the mall today to the Rogers Communications Store, in order for  us to activate Canadian wi-fi service.  It was a process, but we were successful and got the service set up.  

King made Texas Nachos which were very well received.  TexMex isn't found in Canada.  

Hoping for a handout.

 Sailboat races.

One yacht club member plants beautiful flowers and a visitor herb garden which she has maintained for 40 years. This garden was a very special surprise and right at the end of our dock.  

We also were happy to find a local farmer's market just a few blocks from the marina.  There were many tables with fresh produce, local honey and maple syrup, and something called butter tarts.  We bought one, it is a small roll that tastes like pecan pie.  It is really, really sweet.
