We putzed around in the morning, Teresa went for a bike ride
and Ron did some more planning for the trip to Montreal. We set sail for Jorstadt Island,
44° 27.12N 75° 48.68W, where Singer Castle is
located. The wind howled all day and we
had a brisk downwind sail to the island past Boldt Castle and Millionaires Row
where we saw many beautiful and expensive looking homes. We anchored off nearby Cedar Island,
44° 27.02N 75° 47.33W, and got the weather forecast on
the phone. It mentioned gusts of 50
knots in squalls! Gulp. So far, we’ve only had a short but heavy rain
shower, the winds are blowing 15-20 knots and the anchor’s holding. If you’re reading this blog, we survived the
night!
Addendum. The winds
behaved themselves and blew most of the night from the SW, W and North which
were the predicted directions, so we had no problems with the anchor. No thunderstorms at the boat, but we could
see lightening all around us, so although we were safe, it was not entirely a
relaxing nights sleep!.
