Friday, June 24th

Having recruited Brenda and Vin for various jobs the past 2 days, we went for our first sail of the season today. Had a great sail to Lost Bay, anchored, explored ashore, ate, drank and played cards. Nice!

Today's log: 11.5nm, Season total: 11.5nm.

Wednesday, June 22nd

Our first guests (Brenda and Vin) arrived on Wednesday. As expected they pitched in to help up doing a few jobs afloat (like putting sails on etc.)

Tuesday, June 21st

4pm engine repaired. 4:30 Quinita afloat. 6:15 settled into berth and off for showers. Yippee.

Monday, June 20th

Still doing some jobs on the boat. Launch delayed another day - problems with port engine.

Sunday, June 19th

Josephine (from the UK) happens to be visiting her sister in Owen Sound - Just around the corner in Canadian terms - about 100 miles away. Small world. Josephine, Helen and Mrs. K. stopped by for lunch on Quinita. (Still ashore unfortunately).

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

Arrived in Midland at 6pm after 10 hours on the road from Vermont. We’d already spent a week in May and found the boat in great shape. Still plenty of little jobs to do though.

Sunday, September 26th

We set of on our last trip of this short season in company with Ted and Bernie in Ted's 30' Iroquois cat . Had light winds on Sunday and motored most of the way to Indian harbour - another beautiful anchorage.

We had a pleasant dinner together and went to bed looking forward to some more anchorages. The weather forecast on Monday morning gave us some different ideas however. It was calling for 30 knt winds on Tuesday, so we decided to head back and make preparations for laying up. Motored back through Georgian Bay in light winds and then the wind picked up slightly in Midland bay and Ted was able to get some video of us sailing. So as soon as we can get a copy of his tape and convert it, we'll post it. Ted and Bernie decided to spend the night in Lost Bay and Teresa and I had a nice beat (until the wind died again) back to Midland.
