Bonne fête à ma maman, l'artiste, Jocelyne :)
A 3day weekend, glorious sunshine, it’s starting to really feel like vacation time…
We had a wonderful day friday with Natasha and PA, Leo and Sophya. No wind to sail but a great time at the beach, campfire after a delicious supper. Thomas even caught a firefly! We went to bed pretty late but we got to sleep in until 8 the next morning. Thanks Liam :)
Saturday we had a nice sail, motored a bit, and we dropped the hook past Farran’s point. We had a nice swim and have decided to stay the night.
After supper we checked that everything was ok, having decided to stay the night, and found that the only thing holding us was the weight of the anchor chain on the bottom....so we decided to move. But we were stuck! The bottom is kind of sandy and muddy. Seb jumped in and simply pushed us off - only 5 or 6 feet of water helps!
Off we went and we anchored off Croil island. 2 other boats from SYC were there as well. The boys got a little ride rowing Anton and Robin's dinghy. Look at that gorgeous firy sunset!
It's a great anchorage for the night, we had a great sleep.
It’s great to be back on the water and spending time aboard. So far we have only had little day outings or bad weather weekends spent mostly at the club. This weekend is a great opportunity to get used to spending lots of time on the boat, organizing everything and making lists of things to do, things to get, things to bring, etc. in preparation for our vacation.
Which, by the way, we are really looking forward to.
Another practice next week, as we will be heading up river for the Borland race! But only after we get to enjoy the Canada Day fireworks!
Stay tuned for more adventures!
