Saturday August 4th


We had a nice beat to Sorel, 46° 02.90N 73° 06.44W, our last sail for a few days, ‘cause we’re about to drop the mast.  We arrived about 12:30 and spent the afternoon getting the mainsail off the boom, the genoa dropped and all the running rigging and boom off the mast in preparation for dropping the mast tomorrow.  Teresa went for a bike ride around Sorel while Ron finished up the last few jobs. Sorel is an industrial town so I was surprised to find a row of lovely waterfront homes and a beautiful bike path with natural shade provided by the lush green canopy of foliage.  The center of the town was more what we expected.     We ate on the boat and went to bed dreaming about all the ways dropping the mast could go wrong, (at least Ron did!)
