Here we are! Day 5 of of our Waupoos Summer.
Yondering's slip for July and August is at Waupoos Marina. Right at the end of B dock with an incredible view and handy swim ladder. The perfect spot for morning yoga and QiGong. Very easy for coming and going, which is the idea, so many spots around here for gunk-holing, and just a jump to the Thousand Islands. We used to talk about taking a summer slip here when we were working, and I think it will be even better now that we are both retired.
Our Waupoos Summer began with an easy and enjoyable passage. No sudden engine failure or unexpected storms. Drama free!
Sailed out the gap at Bluffers June 29: anchored in Cobourg our first night; anchored Sandy Cove near Bellevile the second; then a mooring ball at Prinyers. Travelling the inside route was very pleasant. This may be the earliest in the season we've head this far east, which may explain why it's not very weedy. Bonus... Murray Canal is free until September.
After we were assigned our slip, we went out to drop anchor near the island, and would have stayed all night had strong winds not picked up. A bit of a challenge tying up to the dock with all the bluster, but all's well that ends well.
Our cat Griskit is on board with us and is settled in. Sea sick on her first day but otherwise adjusting. Generally, she hides away in the cabin all day until 5 pm and then ventures cautiously out on deck. We are careful about keeping her on a leash to prevent her jumping off onto the dock at night time.
Rob went back to Toronto by train yesterday to get the car, while I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the dock, reading, playing ukulele and chatting with our new neighbours. Pinching myself & not believing our luck with the view. So happy to be here!
The Ontario Explorer is docked beside us, but she comes and goes throughout the summer. Early this morning there were some voices and engine rumble, and she was off to work by 7 a.m. Now the view is even better!
