August 15 (part 2) – Merrickville

On the dock at Aylings Boatyard in Merrickville

44°55′2″ N 75°49′51″ W

I left London around 7:00am on August 15 & was back at the boat at 3:00pm. It was a pretty easy drive except for the stop & go traffic through Toronto. I don’t know how people can do that day after day!

Shortly after I got back to the boat a new neighbor arrived for an overnight stay at the marina.

“Dolphin” is 60 feet long, was built in New York City in 1929 & has been owned by the same family from the Montreal area ever since she was launched!

Needless to say, Dolphin attracted a lot of attention & was the subject of many photos. I would have loved to have had the opportunity to tour the inside but the Captain of the boat asked admirers to respect the (on board) owner’s privacy.

If I ever win the lottery……

Cheers!
