Day 180: July 16, 2023

After we left Kingston, we boated for about five hours, anchoring outside of Picton, Ontario.

Boris & Mayli and the two of us dinghied in to take Flash to shore and go for a walk. We first came upon the Macaulay Heritage Park. The Macaulay House was closed though we were able to walk around the grounds of The Church of St. Mary Magdalene, which was surrounded by a cemetery. It was fascinating to check out the old gravestones. The church, home, and grounds were acquired and restored by the County of Prince Edward.

Our next stop was, you guessed it, for ice cream! As you see, it was quite a popular location, out in the middle of nowhere, yet with a long line for yummy cones and shakes.

We made our way to town and found the 555 Brewery for a “second dessert” beverage.

Around the corner from the brewery, we caught the Picton United Church at sunset. It was pretty and its clocktower was grandiose.
