There is no Frontenac Rowing Club, although positioned as it is at the junction of the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario, with the Cataraqui River feeding into the system, there are definitely rowing, canoe and yatching clubs in Kingston. This is a photo I took looking across the Cataraqui River from the Kingston Rowing Club/Cataraqui Canoe Club.
The house and boathouse across the river is how and where I imagined the home of Frank Beanish. I could easily see Dan thinking to make a quick trip across the river to visit with his nemesis, rather than driving a circuitous route to his home.
