The 19th, Thursday, we remained at Phoenix with the "Brats" due to rain, rain, rain! Today, Friday, we were able to gather some of the older, and a few of the younger, Brats for our departure.
The rains started again, Bonnie puts us in the Locks, Taylor assists in keeping us where we belong, along the wall. The winds and rain picked up all during the day as we proceeded North.
We take turns at all the jobs.
Arriving at Lock #8 the rain let up for us to get through and Taylor had her last lock experience on this trip. Saturday she returns to her family as we prepare to cross the Lake.
Today on Lake Ontario the winds are NorthWest 25-30 knots, the water is breaking over the harbor breakwater . . . a good day to stay in port. Sunday the forecast is for sunny skies, a high of 78, calm winds (beginning late on Saturday) and finally builting on Sunday afternoon and evening to East winds 6-9 knots. Should be a good day to cross. A note: Once in Canada our VERIZON air-card will not work and there may be few, if any updates to the BLOG until mid-August. Telephones work, not the air-card.......for our internet connection.
Bonnie & Charlie,
ReplyDeleteI am so behind on everything after being in the hospital for 10 days and just this weekend had an opportunity to spend some time looking at your pictures and narrative of your adventures. I am so happy that you have the opportunity to spend this time enjoying life and "spreading your wings".
I am in awe of the scenery. I haven't been to Canada in several years but now my interest is renewed.
Thank you so much so sharing- what a wonderful record of your trip.
Continue to live life to the fullest!
Jeannie
