Day #367 – Parry Sound, ON

We decided to stay the extra day and catch up on chores before making our way through the rest of the Georgian Bay and the North Channel.

This morning we each got needed chores done.  Andy put the dinghy in and washed the hull all of the way around the boat.  That takes some time and he was glad to have it done.  Fortunately, the rain they had called for came through the middle of the night and today was sunny and clear.  The wind was fairly high so it was a good day to stay on shore and catch up.

I did several things that I had been putting off.  One was the dreaded chore of defrosting the freezer.  It had been a bit too long and the ice had really built up.  I was sitting cross legged on the floor when it decided to let go and came down like an avalanche in my lap.

Patti and I took the shuttle to the grocery store.  Little did we know that being a holiday the store would be packed.  I truly don’t think I have ever been in a grocery store that was that crowded.  We waited and waited and finally got checked out, missed the shuttle, waited for the next one and made it back to the marina.  Two and a half hours round trip and we were back on our boats to put things away.

For our family and friends who are ice hockey fans, we thought you might enjoy seeing who owns a restaurant in Parry Sound.

We still had the dinghies in the water from the fellas washing the boats.  Brad and Patti decided to take a ride.  They were back fairly quickly as the ride was windy, wavy, cool and wet.

Tomorrow will be an early start as we are hoping to make it all of the way across the bay to Tobermory, about 80 miles away.
