The really nice thing about not having an agenda is just that: no agenda, no 'have to' time frame. The weather is supposed to be downright nasty (rain and cold) from now until Thursday - which is Canada Day (like our 4th of July) so we decided to just stay put in the nice marina here in Orillia. The fireworks will be right here next to the marina so a prime seat without leaving the boat! Staying at the dock means, though, we have work days instead of travel days.
Jobs: refinishing both steering wheels (the one of the flybridge is in the worse shape) so Steve got a start on that yesterday and worked on it again today. The other job was to refinish the teak in the aft bathroom. This means sanding and 3 coats of finish. Last coat went on this afternoon.
Having completed or at least well started on two projects, we thought it would be a good time for a bike ride to the mall to see Toy Story 3 - which Becky reported was very good (3-D of course). So off we went. Left at 2:30 for the 4 pm show. You know how on Yahoo Maps they say to take time for a reality check to verify the road shown is really there? Well the same is true of tourist maps with bike paths. Does this look like it leads to a mall??? Well, it didn't.
Which wouldn't have been so bad except it decided to thunderstorm. So we pick a nice big tree with lots of other big trees around and big leaves to stay dry. Right. We finally decided to give up the show as we were already mostly wet and just rode back to the boat in the rain. Of course as soon as we got back it quit raining :-) So the show is scheduled for tomorrow - and a taxi ride :-) Good day though - very quiet around here but the place is packed again for the long holiday weekend. This will be a good place to be for a while as any Canadian with a boat will be out on the water thru Sunday.
