Bo arrived from Chicago. He took the airporter bus to downtown and then caught the City ferry over to Hanlan’s Point. It was still very hot so we left Toronto Islands and headed to the marina in Port Credit, about 90 minute’s sail/travel west of Toronto. There was a bit of wind but it was not headed the same way we were, so after about an hour of searching for the wind we dropped the sails and motored the rest of the way. As soon as we reached the marina we headed straight for an air-conditioned restaurant and some ice-cold drinks! This particular marina is a pretty good bargain for dockage rates, right downtown in the community so there are lots of interesting shops nearby and there is also a boating supply store for me to pick up some more odds and ends. Being tied up on a dock also gives us 110v electricity so we can have electric fans in our sleeping areas—a “luxury” we can’t have when the boat is anchored because I don’t have an extension cord over 50’ long J and only 1 – 12v electric fan on board.
