Day 275, Monday March 24th – Back in Hope Town
Well it is good to be back in Hopetown. It is a very safe and beautiful harbour. Dawson was up early, for a run, but Julie was
a bit of a sleepyhead, as she awoke to the VHF radio as Dawson turned it on
upon his return from his run. There is
not much on our schedule of activities as the winds are scheduled to be high
for the next 4 or 5 days so kayaking is out of the question. We have already done most of the touristy
things so exercise, French studies, some administration are all we are hoping
to accomplish.
We do head into town for a walk around and stop at a few of
the shops. There is nothing we
particularly need except for some milk and yogurt so we are not big
spenders. Back to the boat for lunch and
then we spend the afternoon reading by the pool until Randy and Lee show up and
challenge us to a game of bean bag toss followed by ping pong. Both Randy and Lee are from central Ontario
(Fenelon Falls and Haliburton) so it turns into a battle of North vs Central
Ontario. We represented northern Ontario well with a win at Bean Bag toss and
Julie is now the reigning ping pong champion.

We have planned on heading to Captain Jack’s for bingo and
dinner for 6:00. We were heading over
around 5 in order to secure a table, however when we got there all the tables
were spoken for. Only 10 minutes
previously the whole deck had been empty.
Plan B is quickly instituted and we head over to the Wine Bar called Sip
Sip’s for dinner with Randy and Debbie along with Lee and Randy. They have a decent book exchange also that we
are able to utilize. Sip Sip’s is
wonderful, a real deal with lovely wines and big crystal wine glasses for only
$5 a glass, and fabulous flatbread pizzas.
We have a great evening of giggles with our new BFF’s, but of course are
safely back on the boat shortly after boater’s midnight.
Cheers
Julie and Dawson
