Sue and Peter arrived around 10:00am to drive us to Orillia to get our car. It felt like a very fast trip past Fenlon Falls, Bobcaygeon, Kirkfield, etc. to Orillia. What took us days on the boat only took us a little over 90 minutes by car – travelling 90+ kph vs. 10 kph (48 knots vs. 5 knots).

All the places identified in red we went through by boat – and either through or passed by in the car! Click anywhere on the image to enlarge

We enjoyed a lunch out with Sue and Peter before going to my cousin’s son’s (Steve) place to retrieve the car. Steve had very kindly started the car up once a week to preserve the battery. Thanks Steve for helping us out! Thanks to Sue and Peter for driving us and making that trip very enjoyable.

Belisama moored on the wall at Buckhorn Yacht Harbour Marina – we’ve been here before! 🙂

We took a leisurely drive back to Buckhorn. We started to take “stuff” off the boat and load into the car. I began to worry that it was going to be tight as I underestimated how much “stuff” is coming home with us.

Racing boat on Buckhorn Lake – several high speed boats passed back and forth in front of us. Surprising how fast they go but create next to no wake! Click anywhere in the image to enlarge it

I had a follow-up discussion with Peter about fall/winter projects for Belisama. Amanda from the Top Shop came to the boat to discuss new coverings for cushions in galley and with her help, we picked out a fabric. She can work on this project in the winter.

We drove to Pizza Alloro in Buckhorn for a quick dinner.  It was to be our last night on the boat which makes us both sad but looking forward to getting home!

Tomorrow we finish packing and head home to London.

Cheers!
