We've lost Bob.
Bob is the name of the sensor for our indoor/outdoor thermometer and provides me with some idea of how I should dress before sticking my head out of the door in the morning. We know he's still with us as he continues to broadcast without fail - we just can't find him! I suspect it was the trip across Lake Ontario but really? How can you loose something on a boat that is only 36' x 13'?
And it was COLD yesterday. Overcast, windy and the occasional rain shower. We left Campbellford, added 120 liters of diesel to each tank (about 30 gallons) since the price was right: $.939 per liter. Fuel is expensive up here but this place is also a drive in station so they can afford to sell it at road prices rather than on the water prices.
After a challenge getting to the government dock due to the wind (we are finding how difficult it is to hold a 9 ton boat against the wind!), Steve cooked up a great hot soup lunch. It was great!!
Arrived at Hastings and spent a very quiet night at the lock wall. Very convenient place as we were basically docked on the main drag of town - and today is gorgeous although still only 66 degrees. Goal today: a nice ride down Rice Lake - hopefully it will be nice enough that we can spend some time kayaking ... or not :-)
