A month long sailing vacation!!!
I haven't had an entire month off work since I was 13 and enjoyed summer vacation. Ever since then it has been some form of work (or looking for work when unemployed).
Right now I can hear the thunder from the safety of our dock in Cobourg. The sky is dramatically dark for a summer afternoon, but the rain hasn't started. Skies are heavy in anticipation. After this storm, clear skies ahead for several days. I'm hoping we get to the Thousand Islands for the last week of July, and that they aren't too crowded for the season.
Tonight will be the third night. We have a Yeti cooler stocked full, with what started as frozen meat but it's already semi-thawed. All of it vacuum packed. If we manage to replenish a couple of ice blocks every three days our meat should last at least a couple weeks. If not, we'll be cooking up a lot of barbecue for neighbouring boats.
The engine has cooperated so far, motoring first to Whitby (4 hours) and then on to Cobourg (5 hours).
Ahhh - summer thunder showers! Such a coolness in the air, and the fresh ozone is such a stir. Snug in the cabin as the rain comes pounding down. The torrent is so loud you can barely hear the thunder.
