First Sail of the Season up the St Lawrence along the Kingston Waterfront. Ep66
Ep66. In this episode of Cruising Off Duty, we do the best we can to make some quick fixes to the boat so we can use it this summer. No boat yards are available to work on our boat for months so temporary fixes are going to have to do for now.
We get out for our first sail on the St Lawrence and explored Wolfe Island, Cedar Island and the Kingston Waterfront. It was a beautiful sunny day (which has been very rare lately) so it made for some great footage.
We finish off the episode showing how, owning a sailboat has many more benefits than just allowing you to explore the beautiful waterways, but also has the extra benefit of greatly enriching your circle of friends. Sailors, and especially cruising sailors, are the most friendly people in the world and before long you have close life long friends. We invite our good sailing friends Dan and Theresa on our boat to have a birthday celebration dinner for Theresa. You have seen “Captain” Dan and Theresa before when we were together on our BVI Catamaran Charter series.
Hopefully you enjoy the episode. If so give it a thumbs up on Youtube. Subscribe so you don’t miss any of the upcoming episodes where we will continue exploring the Thousand Islands and Lake Ontario.

Cruising Off Duty
Welcome to Cruising Off Duty. We are Craig and Janice. We love travelling and we love sailing, so we figure the best way to see the world is by sailboat. We presently have a 35' Beneteau Oceanis sloop that we sail out of Kingston, Ontario Canada, which is on Lake Ontario. We have a longer term plan, when we retire in a few years, to sell everything and buy a 40-50' Catamaran and circumnavigate the globe. Craig loves photography along with land based and drone videography and plans to document everything along our travels to share with the world through Youtube and other social media. For now, follow our channel as we show you the beauty of the Great Lakes and the 1000 Islands area of the St Lawrence River. You will also see the steps we take as start narrowing down the Catamaran we think will suit us best as we move closer to our goal of living full time on a sailboat and exploring the world. It should be a journey worth watching.
