GL: Canadian Internet; diesel on rivers

[Gregory Han]

We found open wifi sites along the main streets of several towns in Canada.
No Verizon link of course.

In planning out deisel purchases we found prices
Clayton NY - 18 miles from Kingston - around $2.75 /gal
Canada - around $4.25
Michigan on the lakes around $3.00 and up

We can make Michigan on the fuel aboard but will top off at the end of the
Rideau by going to Clayton.
This is a great stop anyway and you can also stock up on alcohol.

Coming up the Richelieu River the Canadian Customs asked about guns and
length of stay ONLY - nothing about stores, food, plants etc.
