Port Dalhousie

When it was time to move on from Wilson, we headed to Port Dalhousie, and with the light wind on the nose, we motored again.  This was our first stay at the Dalhousie Yacht Club.  We had heard that it can get quite bouncy in the river, but we had three very peaceful nights.  It was a great place for people watching, as there is always lots of foot traffic along the pier with casual strollers, serious walkers, fishermen, and photographers (especially at sunset).  
On the second day, a boat from Mimico Cruising Club pulled in behind us.  Ed thought Burin Star was a familiar boat name for some reason.  When he googled it, he found an article about the boat that he remembered reading some time ago.  The boat if for sale, and looks like a big, serious cruiser.

We had a couple of really relaxing days, walking around the neighbourhood, and across the river to old Port Dalhousie.  About the most excitement we had, was when we left a restaurant on Thursday, and I missed a step and fell flat on my face.  Didn't get hurt, just embarrassed.
