Well we successfully set off on our new adventure! My dad, Don’s mom and Uncle Tom came down to see us off.

It was a pretty simple first day. We left North Tonawanda and came straight to Port Colborne Canada. It was a beautiful day and smooth “sailing”. Although Skis’s bed is in the back, we let her ride up front on our bed, which is tucked in front of and between the helm seats so she could be with the people, as she loves to be.

Finding the correct phone number to check into customs took some doing, but we got it. We tied up at the city dock just inside the Welland Canal for the night. We will take the Welland Canal into Lake Ontario tomorrow morning. I’m a bit nervous about going through the locks….

Overall today was a very successful first day!

I promise I won’t bombard you with daily posts but had to share our first day! Also pardon any glitches, still figuring this out, plus we are now in Canada and although I have the international plan service is still spotty.
