Sittin' on the dock of the (Sodus) Bay (Yacht Club)

We arrived at the Sodus Bay Yacht Club on Tuesday evening, planning to stay until Friday.  As Friday approached, the wind forecast was not very favourable.  We could have gone west on Thursday, but we had dinner reservations at the Bay Street Inn for Thursday evening, and Sodus is such a nice place to be, that we decided to travel on Saturday instead.  On Friday, the forecast was still not great, but by then, Saturday's forecast was even worse.  One more day on the dock won't kill us.  Several of the east-bound boats headed out on Saturday, but we were glad we didn't, as the wind was pretty strong from the west.

Cara & Colette
We've met so many great people here these last few days - Dan and Marietta on DAMAS from Point Breeze Yacht Club, William and Dianna on Alohalani from Oakville Yacht Squadron, Cara and Colette on Her Ladyship from Etobicoke Yacht Club (Colette is the commodore this year), and Carol from SBYC, who told us about her Edmonton connection.

Because we've been here so long, we've also had the opportunity to eat at lots of restaurants around town - Captain Jack's, the Bay Street Inn, and on Friday, at the SBYC dining room where we had deep fried Twinkie desserts!  I worked them off with a run the next morning, though. 



Thursday, we joined a group of women who get together to play Mah-Jong at the club every week.  A couple of the ladies have taught the game, and very graciously let us join a table of newbies.  Laurie, another new player at our table, built the hardest hand on the score card in her very first game!  I think we may have found ourselves a new pastime.

I've added a photo link to a Sodus Bay album because this place is just lovely.
