Rocks, rocks, and more rocks
One unhappy boater today missed a buoy and tore the shafts out of his boat. It sank in minutes!
Environment Canada (similar to NOAA in the U.S.) kept announcing high-wind warnings and rain on the marine radio today for tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday so we decided to travel to the famous tourist restaurant, "Henry's Fish Camp", where we could also dock over-night and evaluate conditions on Saturday. Within an hour of our arrival we were happy to see "Maya Lisa" with Hank and Ceci aboard also pull in at the dock. We hadn't seen them since the lock in Lakefield on 6/28. After we said our "hellos", we agreed to have cocktails aboard their boat with dinner afterward at the restaurant. It was fun to catch up with places they had been since we last saw them. They have lived all over the world, since Hank had a career as a U.S. Foreign Aid official, but they now live in the Fredricksburg, Virginia area and cruise on their boat about five months a year. The fried Pickerel dinner was great, and we came back to our boat to discuss our future planned stops.
