Friday, July 30: Rest Day - Mostly

Today was primarily a rest day - although Steve would not say that. While I spent a good part of the day catching up on internet work odds and ends and keeping the laundry going, Steve fixed the front hatch because it had broken off where the hinges attached. It was actually a pretty poor design so it now will function for many years to come!

The other project he did which should have been minor was of course not. Before we left we had found that the shore power cord that provides power to the air conditioners was fried. Complete with melting of wires. So while we had a car, we had picked up what we needed to replace. Job completed. Can you tell which is the old one?!

I spent another part of the day figuring out where to go tomorrow. I think this will take more time than it has before as we are not familiar with the area and will rely heavily on the guide books. Our plan will take us to Byng Inlet - slightly over 40 miles - for tomorrow. For us this is about a 5 - 6 hour run assuming the weather cooperates. It will be the farthest we've gone in a day since we crossed Lake Ontario!

This is a general chart of where we will be for the next several weeks as we make our way to and through the North Channel and into Lake Michigan. I don't expect to have internet very often but will be in touch when we do!
