Thursday and Friday

Hi everyone
I'm a new grandfather! (4th grandchild)
My son Luke and his wife Sarah had an 8 1/2 lb. baby girl, Anna!

We finished the Trent waterway on Wednesday and camped in Trenton at the municipal park.
Celebrated by going out to the Family restaurant.
However, come Thursday morning the sky was dark and clouded over.
We started out and made it to the Trenton Air Force Base Yaht Club. (about 5 km.)
They welcomed us into the club, gave us a key to the door, for the washrooms, shower and rec hall and we have been here ever since. (Thursday and Friday)
The winds and rain and thunderstorms have been terrible but we are safe, high and dry and living in comfort.
For dinner and breakfast we go to the base mess hall. Excellent food, good price and no security restrictions.
This roughing it out on the water is easy to take.
Tomorrow, Saturday morning we hope to be on our way to Belleville and beyond.
Wish us luck! The Lord keeps blessing us!
We gave info about our trip to one of the commanders of the club and he said he will try to have it published in the local papers, with pictures too!
He also said that he heard a reference to our trip on the CBC radio
Can anyone fill in in any more details?
All the best, JR
