Canada Day weekend

We had some guests aboard this weekend, and for possibly the first time, I have no photos to show for it.  We didn't invite anyone for Saturday, since the forecast was for rain, but while there were big clouds over the city all day, on the island we had sunshine until past dinner time.  Derek, Hayley and Marysia came on Sunday, and although it was sunny and warm, the wind was fairly calm, and we only actually sailed for about an hour.  We mostly motored around the island, and went past IYC to show our guests where Katie is working this summer.  There was a great firework display just off Harbourfront in the evening, and we had a prime view from the QCYC lawn.  On Monday - Canada Day - Cora came with her husband Dwen, and children Alex and Olivia.  We had hoped to take them sailing, but it was overcast and cool, and there was a high wind warning in effect.  Instead we enjoyed some refreshments on board, took a walk around Algonquin Island, and fed the baby ducks...and the bigger ducks....and the little ducks....
