Well, the boat needs its oil changed. Kelley has made an appointment. When he did, he asked them to also order an extra set of filters for our boat. He tried to find them in Burlington and couldn’t. No problem, they said.
Well, when we arrived, they didn’t have ANY filters and therefore couldn’t start the job. Tomorrow.
We met a gentleman named Dave and he sent us off to a great local Italian restaurant. Tuesday we met him at a Mexican restaurant where they had excellent margaritas.
The oil was changed on Tuesday and the filters came. We have 2 engines. They ordered one set. No problem – tomorrow morning.
Surprise for us: the filters were there Wednesday morning.

We are anchored in Sloop Cove. There are many boats here; it is the holiday weekend after all. We have gone for dinghy rides around the island looking at other coves; we have gone for some great walks. Valcour Island is in New York. Great lazy weekend.

Off to Tobermory. It seemed to rain all last night; gentle, but constant. We woke to blue skies with dark clouds heading towards Parry Sound – not in the direction we were planning on going. Kelley wanted to wait a bit longer to make sure that the weather seemed stable and so we left the dock at 9. We thought about anchoring in Wing???…but there were sailboats in there and and they were in the best spots; we had a little wind but Georgian Bay seemed calm enough – nothing like Saturday!
We are tied up in Little Tub Harbor. We are in a slip that is right in town; it reminds us of Annapolis, although emphasis is on TOWN, perchance VILLAGE is a better term. But, all is handy. I am thinking pizza for dinner; Kelley is thinking shrimp pasta. I will let you know who the winner is later.

Went for a great hike on part of the Bruce Penninsula Trail. It was crisp and fall like. This is beautiful country. We ate lunch at MaryDales…just okay; but one less meal that I have to make! We leave tomorrow for Tobermory and Little Tub Harbor. It is suppose to be rainy and windy! So what else is new?
