Air Show 2019

We had guests out for the air show this year.  Emily & Leigh came on the Saturday, so they could enjoy Pig Roast, and Paul & Helena came out on Labour Day Monday.  Paul and Helena are avid photographers, and showed up with a selection of fancy cameras.

Breezy Day

 

Kim and Adam came for a sail on a breezy day.  Always fun!

Heading Home

From Cobourg, we mostly motored using the autopilot, to our regular stop at the Port Whitby Marina, before heading home.

Rib Fest in Cobourg

Our next stop took us to Cobourg, where our friends Tina and Dan happened to be staying, and it was Ribfest!  Dan and Tina are buying a condo, still under construction, where they'll spend their summers overlooking the lake and harbour, with plans to cruise the Bahamas during the winter months.  

Sodus is always a favourite stop

We spent a few days in Sodus Bay, enjoying the good weather.  Even better, we met Sandy and Tom from Oakville, enjoying drinks on the club patio before heading out with them to a newish restaurant in town - the 650.  Great pizza and there was enough for lunch the next day.  

I learned that Sandy is the Executive Director of the ILC Foundation, which aims to help individuals overcome the challenges of living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes and other chronic pain diseases through knowledge-sharing resources, awareness, education, wellness support and research to find cures.  This is one of the things I love about cruising - we meet so many people we wouldn't necessarily cross paths with otherwise.

Sodus still has pretty high water, with part of the road closed, and pumps running all around town. It's interesting to see the various types of flood mitigation tools all around town, from waterdams at the beach, to sandbags, to huge pumps.
