August 19, 2014 Tuesday?

Good thing cell phones have dates on them!

We got up this morning and Todd was packed. Think maybe he’s anxious to go home? He even hesitated when we asked if he wanted to go for breakfast in case he missed his Mom’s arrival. At 7:30???Yeah, right!!

So, after breakfast, we walked by the tourist place -Blue Heron Tours. I dropped my “business card” on the desk and told the girls selling tickets who I was and what the Waterway Guide did. Then I mentioned that one of their boats nearly swamped us coming in the day before. They both looked horrified and said they would mention it to the captain. Not a half hour later Rick got a call on his phone for me (we used his phone number) The owner - Captain wanted to tell me how sorry he was and that he would speak to the person driving the boat.

Liz came after lunch and Todd wanted to meet her at the car with all his stuff. Natasha and Quentin were less than thrilled to see us and him.

After they left, we tried to leave, heading for Wingfield Basin but the waves were head on and we could only do 3 knots. We were plowing through 2 meter

waves and it would have taken at least 6 hours to get there. It was already 4:30pm.

We got out a mile and decided to turn back. Looking east was nothing but grey rain and no horizon. When we turned we did 4.5 knots coming back! We got the same dock. We will leave first thing in the morning...as soon as we get up. If the weather is good and winds co-operate we will get into Owen Sound tomorrow night. If not, we will stop in Little Port Elgin or White Cloud Island. We may not have service but we’ll do our best to let someone know where we are.

Happy sleeps!

Omigod it’s so QUIET...no-one saying “So, Gramma... so, Grampa...”  I miss him already!
