After motoring again with little wind, and trying the spinnaker again - this time for about 20 minutes - we rounded the corner to head north into Presqu'ile Bay, and ran into apparent winds of 18 - 22 knots - right on the nose. No sailing here, as we kept a sharp eye out for the next buoys which mark the fairly narrow channel. Heading through the Murray Canal, we were worried when no one responded to our hail as we approached the first swing bridge. No need to have worried. With construction going on, the bridge is left open.
We had heard about a new marina that opened in Trenton a few years ago, and had a quick look at it when we drove through Trenton last year. What an amazing facility! Helpful staff when you arrive (needed that because of the wind), free laundry, beautiful private bathrooms, and a boater's lounge. Worth every penny.
