July 29…100 days living aboard the TUMBLEWEED…Dakota is finally getting the hang of it. This morning he stayed on the couch as we departed and has actually slept most of the morning on the fly bridge. Usually he is “on his spot” as soon as engines start and then just lays around  …alert to any movement we make. Beautiful calm this morning…and a lovely loon singing…we charted a path off shore…so we are out in the open as opposed to zig-zagging among the rocks. It’s gonna be another warm one as we are traveling with the breeze most of the day. Captain is a little worried about the wind kicking up significantly for the next couple of days…that could hinder travel plans. We’ll keep an eye on the forecast and certainly talk with the locals tonight before heading to Killarney in the morning. The marina tonight has WiFi and laundry facilities…and every one is saying don’t go…Captain will look again in the morning. We had Kawartha ice cream this afternoon and a nap instead of laundry so I’m counting on us staying around tomorrow. We zipped along at 9 MPH today and burned less gas than if we had gone our usual 7.5…Captain is amazed…and I’m thrilled!!!
