Day #397: Mike and I were up at 6:30 A.M. for coffee,
grapefruit and cookies. During the morning hours the two of us worked on boat
jobs and navigation planning. At 9:30 A.M. Gina, John, Mike and I sat down
to discuss weather and travel plans for this week. Gina called making
reservations for a marina in Killarney, ON starting on Wednesday. At 1:00 P.M. John, Gina, Mike and I walked to
the Killbear Park Mall General Store to see what they had for provisioning. On
the walk to the store three people on bikes informed the four of us that they had
seen a small bear 50 meter ahead. The four of us looked for the bear but didn’t see
it. Gina and John were able to buy a few items at the store before the four of us headed back to the marina. Mike and I headed to the flying bridge to enjoy
the beautiful day. At 5:00 P.M. it was
docktails on “Alysana” with Gina, John, Mike, myself, Bill/Sandy (“Impulse II”).
Bill and Sandy had just arrived at the marina this afternoon they are also
loopers who just started their loop in New York. There were lots of information
sharing and fun stories during docktails. At 7:30 P.M it was time for Sunday
night phone calls with Mom/Dad Burdo, Amanda and Mom Boynton. The plan for
Monday is for “Parrot Bay” and “Alysana” to head Hopewell anchorage in Georgian
Bay.
