As the song goes - "Monday, Monday, how could you be this way?"

The day started well, breakfast at the Holiday Inn, a quick stop to get the geo coordinates on the [now renamed] Point Edward Rear Range, and on we went. Nothing dramatic till we got to Kingston.



There was a 45 minute wait for the ferry. When the ferry got in (late, but we'd been warned), the car wouldn't start. A short investigation proved that the lights (required in Ontario) were still on, but we missed that ferry till we could get a jump start. Mom persuaded me to not give in, so we took the next ferry after recharging the battery (and much worry each time we had to restart the car).




Took the ferry to Wolfe Island. Drove to the southern tip of Wolfe, and after two tries got the driveway for the ferry to Simcoe Island. Drove the full length of Simcoe Island, and there (ta da!) was Nine Mile Point lighthouse.


Got the 5:30 ferry back, got a room at the Day's Inn, found a restaurant , and now we are both ready to quit for the day.
