Meeting with the water quality survey team of Quinte’s Conservation Authority

Before we left Picton, we met the Quinte Conservation team, which was collecting water quality data in the Bay of Quinte. We showed team lead Jeff Polchinsky our Maestro measuring system and he was very impressed with its multi-sensors measurement capability and 750m depth rate. He showed us their survey boat and YSI measuring system, which can work only to 10m depth and exceed the permanent drift of almost all channels. We wished them a successful survey and a good day for work on water.

Picton – hidden gem of Lake Ontario

Picton is a small town located in Prince Edward County on the shore of a narrow Picton bay far from the main cruising routes. The quiet life of this town, famous for its excellent apple cider, and a few tourists and boaters in the newly renovated marina, make your stay here fabulous.

We are sailing (almost)!

The expedition on Lake Ontario continues! On the way from Kerr Bay to Picton, with a wind speed of up to 20 knots, we tried to set the jib, but unfortunately, we tore the sail. Ahead of us there is a marina in Picton and work with the sewing of the sail.
