July 15…iffy weather was iffy…wind started howling around 2 AM …and stayed that way. So we decided to stay as well…The groomer was able to shift dogs around so we can get in tomorrow afternoon …which, of course, means an o’dark thirty departure…oh, for the love of dog…but it sure beats staying an extra day in Trenton. So we plan to give it our best shot.

We tried to do things today that we would have done in Trenton…Haircuts didn’t happen…but serious grocery shopping did…and lunch in town at the County Canteen was lovely.

I didn’t get to wear my new Canadian girl boating outfit, hey…today was a jeans and sweatshirt day for sure…but around here it doesn’t take long for the weather to change…just like home…

Just when things were getting dull this evening… a cruise ship arrived…the 48 passenger KAWARTHA VOYAGEUR…big mamou pulled right up next to us. They are going from Peterborough to Kingston…so they’ve been on the Trent-Severn and are headed to the Rideau…sure glad we didn’t meet them at bridges, locks or on those narrow passages…geesh, I don’t even get how they do that. Then before we got settled into that, a big sail training ship pulled in on the other side…17 teenagers…they didn’t stay long but their docking/undocking was exciting.  There will be photos…

Whew…if we had left this morning as originally planned, we’d have missed all this…
