Day 22, Sunday July 14^th – another hot day

Water like glass on way to Amedroz

We awoke to another beautiful day, with sun and heat at the early hour of 7:30.  Al was already up and out fishing hoping to catch a bass.  Today was Karen’s official birthday.  The day progressed rapidly from coffee, breakfast and the cruiser’s net, with a swim thrown in there somewhere.  After breakfast and another swim we considered options for the day.  The water was flat so we knew sailing was out, but it did beckon for a dingy ride. 

Swim at Amedroz

We loaded up the 4 dinghies and headed south from Matheson to Amedroz Island.  This is an island we have passed many times but have never landed on.  On the north side of the island is a nice anchorage for a west wind.   The anchorage featured a sand beach and a small creek flowing into the small bay; great for minnow catching.  From here we headed back to Matheson where we had another swim and lunch.  In mid afternoon a Bald Eagle came and perched in a tree for about an hour.  Around 4 our friends had to start thinking about heading back to dock as they are still members of the working world.  It reminded me of how my Aunt Judy who had been retired about a year, told me that Sunday was her favorite day as she got to watch all the other cottagers on Penage head back to Sudbury while she sat in her Muskoka chair.  As there was no wind for sailing the Trevisiol’s offered to take Al and Karen back to Little Current, an offer that was accepted.  By 6 pm all the power boats were gone and we had moved and anchored out in the bay, with plans to head out in the morning.

By ourselves now in Matheson

We enjoyed another excellent meal and off to bed, a nice end to the weekend.

Cheers
