Midland -- day 3

Today -- after an early morning walk with Chessie -- I scrubbed the top sides of Sonador. Those who boat will understand when I say "I am getting too old for this" -- if you aren't a boater, think of washing a thirty seven foot car that has been in a construction zone for many months!

But, I think it was worth it.

These are the ADM Milling Company (lumber/wood pulp) elevators at the end of the Midland Harbor -- the colorful mural represents the French Canadian priests and the First Nation peoples. This is right across from the marina.

And, here is Sonador with her new cover nestled in a temporary slip -- I'll move on Monday or Tuesday to make room for the permanent slip occupant.

Midland, Ontario

We are here!!

Actually arrived yesterday around noon -- and spent the afternoon moving most of the stuff on-board -- collapsed by 9 p.m. It was hot and muggy -- mid 80's and not a breeze stirring.

Today, up at 6 a.m. -- hey, the sun comes up and the dog and I can no longer stay hiding from the day. It's sunny, with a nice breeze, and more moving stuff. I'm almost done -- if it stays this warm, I won't need half the things I brought with me.

Tomorrow, I have to scrub the decks and finish unpacking the car -- only Chessie's extra food remains.

I will take pictures, and begin to post them. The new enclosure is great -- gives me a lot more living space no matter what the weather.

I'm already into boating time -- reading all afternoon -- getting ready for a quiet evening -- and seldom thinking profound thoughts!

It's Almost that Time Again!

Plans are afoot to pull the plug, pack the dog, and head out on the water later in the month of May. Probably staying in the Georgian Bay and North Channel throughout the summer and returning to US waters of the Great Lakes around Labor Day.

A girl can dream can't she?
