Back home in a hurry
D be unable to attend. Ay breakfast Thursday morning on our way to provision in Gananoque we decided that if we left right away we could make any day other then Monday. We left for The Milligan's, then Cobourg and home at 4:30 Saturday.

The Oasis
A little mishap
Years of education at the hands of Red Green came in very useful. Trish rushed to get the duck tape while I held the motor. We raised the motor on the motor lift repaired the mount (as seen in the picture) and were on our way.

Day 37
Today we will get going and have breakfast in Gananoque then do some shopping. This afternoon we will head for Beau Rivage and prepare for the RCYC Rendezvous. This will be the eleventh rendezvous and we have made them all. It is great to see our friends come from all directions to have a two day party then disperse some to home others to their favourite island or Eastern Port.
The hawks in the picture are just off our stern about 60 or 70 feet up on top of a dead tree.

Bill sending the blog.
The floating bollard
The Snell Lock
Creg Quay Marina
We did satisfy our major goal of getting a little bit closer to the American locks. It is 9:00 and. We have 15 nautical miles to go. We have no ideal when we will get through. Sometime tonight we will be back in Morrisburg. Tomorrow we will be in Brockville or the islands.
I must go now for I think after the next turn I will put the gib out. We are of course still in current, but not nearly the the current we have been in.
Good morning

The adventure is almost completed
Saturday night we will be at Crysler Park Marina and Morrisburg. This is really where the adventure started on the 4th of July 24 days ago. There is nothing we would change nothing we would not do over. As a matter of fact we are considering retracing our steps in two years. We would strongly recommend the trip to anyone.
The people we have met have all been going much further. The last couple bought a 40 foot sailboat in Chicago. They left on July 24 and two days ago were already in east Montreal. They are going around Nova Scotia, down to Florida, overt the Panama Canal and then the
South Pacific. It makes our little 24 day adventure seem small. I should say at this time that neither myself nor Trish were tempted to follow them.
