Summer's over

Such a lot to do before heading south and I've added to things by buying this trailer at Wildwood Lake. I'll be spending next summer there - right across the lake from the sailing club - how handy is that?

Another Boat - this one mine!

This is the Capri - a 25 Bayfield which needs some work (= a steal) before she sets sail in Wildwood Lake. She'll be among the biggest boats there and the only one of her kind. Capri means "unpredictable" here and "playful" in Italy. I think it's quite an apt name.

Wasn't the best day to drive to Toronto (near Ontario Place) to pick up a boat - last day of the CNE, the air show was on and the Labour Day parade. Going in was fine but getting back out took longer and longer still because the doohickey (that's a technical term) that connects the trailer lights to the truck was missing so the boys had to splice wires together. It's good to have a man or 2 around. Thanks to my great friends Rudy, Ellen (in photo) and Gerry, the boat made it safely to the farm where she'll get the TLC she needs. Also, thanks to Gary for finding the boat. Guess I owe him more baked goods for this one, the jury's still out on his first find LOL.
