Early morning sunrise over Buckhorn Lake<\/p><\/div>\n

Early morning is usually a good time to stay in touch with friends and family. If we are not trying to get an early start to our travels this is a good opportunity for a more relaxing tea and coffee along with responding to text messages, emails and even telephone calls. This particular morning one of my friends in London texted me and asked what we were doing at that moment. Here is my reply \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

A relaxing start to our day<\/p><\/div>\n

After we finished our tea and coffee Wally went back down below decks to try and figure out the boat\u2019s fuel tank selector system. There were lots of grunts and groans and \u201cwhat the #!$%\u201d coming from down below. I want to be supportive but its going to take a real emergency before I go down there \u2013 that\u2019s most definitely a \u201cblue job\u201d on this boat.\u00a0 FYI, blue jobs are the tasks for men; pink jobs are the tasks for the ladies. The only time my pink jobs include grease and oil are when I am washing a frying pan! It hurts my head just to look at this crazy piping and valve arrangement!<\/span><\/p>\n

Belisama’s fuel tank selector system – this bonkers setup will be changed before we launch next year!<\/p><\/div>\n

Happily we were able to meet up with Joanne and Randy again and went for lunch at the MainStreet Grill. Randy took Wally to the Home Hardware for some \u201cboat stuff\u201d while Joanne and I waited for a table on the patio. We were able to watch the boats going by at this very popular spot.<\/p>\n

There were large rental houseboats, cruisers and smaller craft lined up along the wall to come for lunch and others waiting for the lock. After a tasty lunch, there was more shopping, this time for groceries in \u201cThe Buck\u201d as the locals call it.<\/p>\n

We were so appreciative of Joanne and Randy taking the time to get us where we needed to be and to help with provisioning the boat. We hope to reconnect with them when we are back in \u201cThe Buck.\u201d<\/p>\n

Great news \u2013 sort of. Wally was looking in his wallet for his credit card to pay our share of the restaurant bill and what did he find but the bathroom pass key for Orillia Marina! He was quite sheepish about it as I had been very upset thinking I had lost it! Oh well, we will return the key to the marina when we go to Orillia to pick up our car. Hopefully they will give us back our $30 deposit! From now on, whenever we stop at a marina where a bathroom key or pass card is involved and a deposit is required \u2013 I\u2019m going to be in charge!<\/p>\n
