We had a restful evening & comfortable night at the marina. It was good to be able to move around the boat without having to hang on.

Mike & Pennie needed to get home on June 26 so Catherine came from London to pick us up & then I drove them home to Goderich.

We had great fun on our trip & I was very sad to see them leave.

I pointed out to Mike & Pennie that we were tied up beside the dock that I was at with the Nauticat in 2010 with Peter Hammond & Mike Norton. Fortunately, our passage this year from Erieau to Port Stanley was much better than the trip in 2010!

I was back in London by supper time & it was good to spend an evening with Catherine & Emily & to sleep in a bed that was not bumping up against the side of a dock.

I spent June 27 tending to odds & ends in London & organizing items for the next segment of my journey.

Catherine drove me back to Port Stanley late in the afternoon. Emily & Catherine’s mom, Jeanne came with us & we had dinner at a restaurant close to the marina.

Bonus! – Jeanne made a whole batch of my favorite peanut butter cookies for me to take on the journey. I must confess that I have already dipped into the tin several times. I’d better slow down or there won’t be any left by the time I get to Port Colborne!

Thanks Jeanne – the cookies are awesome!👏

Catherine & Emily are going to drive to meet me at Port Colborne on Friday & we will go through the Welland Canal on Saturday. They will leave the car at the marina in Port Colborne & then take a cab back from the marina in Port Dalhousie (on Lake Ontario).

Cheers!
