Friends in Cobourg

Another windless day with 35 miles to go from Whitby to Cobourg.  We motored again except for about 10 minutes when the wind teased us and we raised the spinnaker.  Cobourg is always a favourite stop, with a pretty downtown area, and excellent marina facilities.  When we arrived, I contacted my friend Teresa, to see whether she and Patrick could drop by for a visit.

They came the next day, with a stop aboard Prime Interest for an appetizer and drink, then dinner at Corfu, and dessert at the ice cream place near the beach.  

Teresa and I were great friends during our elementary school days, attending Polish school together.  Although we attended the same high school, being a grade apart meant we moved in different circles.  Then life took us in different directions, and we only reconnected recently through facebook. It is always wonderful to reconnect with old friends.  I hope to be able to see each other more often, once we retire at the end of the year, and have more flexibility with our time.
