Leamington Municipal Marina, Leamington ON

(Monday Aug 29 - Dist: 59.1 mi; Avg Speed: 19.6 mph; TTT: 3:20 hrs)


Lake Erie was good to us again as we had a beautiful trip from Erieau to Leamington.  We passed lots of fishing boats both commercial and charter which made the trip more interesting.  As we neared Point Pelee, the most southerly point in Canada, we encountered a couple of lake freighters that were going through the Pelee Passage.  It is starting to feel like home.  That feeling became stronger as we approached Leamington Marina.  Everything was familiar as we had stayed at this marina for a couple of months when we moved from Ottawa to Windsor.  By the way, Leamington is my birthplace and the tomato capital of the world.


As you can see Leamington Marina is a beautiful marina although quite empty right now.  Before I could even get the lines secured we had an invite to a BBQ.  It was great to see some old friends again.  Hopefully there will be a lot of that this weekend.

We will be reaching our home marina around noon or 1 PM on Thursday and thus completing America's Great Loop.  We are saddened that this will all soon be coming to an end.   In the mean time here are a few photos from the marina.

Many a ship went done in the area.
