It's a Great Start!

We could not have asked for a better beginning to our new life.  We set off at 6 am (folks at EYC may have heard our horn) towards the Thousand Islands with our friends Peggy and Charlie.  A beautiful beam reach with all sails up took us to Cobourg where a fantastic surprise awaited.

Their Canada Day fireworks were glorious!  The four of us sat on the deck as we watched the heavens explode overhead while we were anchored.  This is a must see for anybody that can get there.

The next full day of sailing (and motoring) got us to Waupoos, where again we anchored, and the wind blew steadily.  We motored over to the marina where the girls had a chance to take a badly needed shower.  I was still fresh as a daisy but I took one anyway.

Yesterday was our best day of sailing, with broad reaches taking us all the way to Navy Bay.  This is a quaint little anchorage tucked between the Royal Military College and Fort Henry in Kingston.

Today are crew is leaving us, and we will miss them greatly.  It was wonderful having them with us to share the beginning of our voyage.  Now it's just Maggie and me until we get to Nova Scotia for our next rendezvous with friends.
