On Anchor in the Grand River
An opportunity arose that allowed us to travel home and visit with family over the August 1st long week-end.
We spent the week leading up to the August 1st week-end on anchor in the Grand River.  During the day we did some long over-due cleaning and repairs which included putting up the curtains we've had swinging in the cabin awaiting window repairs for the past 8 years. We also motored the mile or so up the river to visit the town of Dunnville.
The weather that week was quite inclement; cold with numerous thunderstorms.
We noticed how pleasant it was to be able to sit on anchor with no worries or weather concerns as we were snug and safe in the river.  We were able to walk out to the beach and watch the waves break over the pier while Sea Star sat very calmly nearby.
We sadly departed from the Port Maitland Sailing Club on August 6th.  We will fondly remember the many kindnesses shown to us by them, especially by Stephanie on "Horizon".
