Day 51, Monday August 12
Today we woke up on the boat to our new canvas. It was late and dark last night so we did not
get
much of a look. We get to stay in port and organize before heading of towards Sarnia. The canvas just needs a minor attachment so we can roll up the 2 sides so the jib sheets do not wear at the cloth and plastic windows when we are under sail. That takes Jari about 5 minutes to fix up and we are satisfied.

Next is the dinghy work.
There is no dinghy on the boat so it must be at the shop still. Dawson contacts Keith who lets us know that
CO2 inflatables is done the dinghy side of the job and that he will be out this
afternoon to install the stainless on our davits to complete the installation.
Roma and Julie head of to the grocers to restock the fridge
and freezer that were emptied prior to Newfoundland. After groceries, Roma heads on her way back
to Sarnia. It is about a 5 hour drive so
good to hit the road by noon. Thanks mom
for the use of your taxi service. Safe
driving!
Alone again, laundry needs to be done along with a bunch of
blogging and some life administration.
Keith comes and keeps Dawson busy for a couple of hours on the dinghy
davits until he has to go for his night shift around 4:00pm. The job is still not done so he will return
in the morning which is when we are supposed to leave. So far the new weaver davits look good and like
they will secure the dinghy better while we are underway.
Laundry takes forever as one of the 2 dryers is out of
commission. Luckily it is a nice day and
some of the laundry can be hung on the life lines. We are tired of eating at restaurants so relish
a fabulous spinach salad for dinner on board.
It is Monday night so not much going on in the community.
We call it an early night and plan for our departure
tomorrow (which really means Julie is starting to stress about pulling out of
the slip on Monday as it is really windy and rainy outside).
Cheers Julie and Dawson
