August 24, 2013, Steve and Anita

Anita and Steve have moved their Sirius to Port Rowan (Lake Erie) and invited us down for the day. There are very few sailboats in the inner bay because of the shallow draft, we only saw 2 or 3 others. Very nice marina, not crowded. They are the only sail boaters but the power boaters are very friendly. We set out for Pottohawk and of course the wind was against us. We finally made it, and I actually went in the water despite my Bahamatized (Anita's word) blood. Didn't last - too cold,  not salty nor sandy, what's with that? We (Steve) BBQ'd, watched the sun go down and just as we hauled anchor we were inundated - yes inundated, deluged, overrun,  engulfed, bombarded, beseiged by a million bugs. Steve's sweater was almost immediately encased in these tiny nonbiting things and Gerry had to clean them off his glasses a few times. Anita and I beat a hasty retreat down below. Was well after dark when we returned but it was a fun outing, well worth the bugs. We'll be back and hopefully remember to take more photos of the area!

We have beautiful sunsets in Ontario too.
