Stats: Zip, We’re
hunkered down.
Our decision to tie up to the town dock instead of anchoring
out was a good plan. It has been damp,
windy, rainy and chilly. The waves have
been crashing over the little break wall around Thessalon bay. It sure makes me appreciate my little, old
electric heater!
Thessalon is a cute little town and a good place to be
hunkered down. They have everything we
need: grocery, library, restaurant. etc. and all within a short walk.
We tied up here with a few other boats, all folks that we
met in Little Current. We are in the
habit of meeting for happy hour on one boat or another at about 5:00 each
afternoon. The first night we followed
that up with dinner at a local restaurant.
The second night some went out to the local hall for an all-you-can-eat
dinner. Jeff and I decided to stay in for
a spaghetti dinner. Tonight the plan is
to meet in the lovely little lounge at the marina for a pot-luck. It’s fun! Cruisers are very social.
Other than that, we've been getting chores done. Jeff has installed an inverter and is
installing a stereo upstairs as I type.
I’ve done five loads of laundry, re-provisioned the boat and cleaned out
several cupboards. In the evenings we
play cards, or prop the laptop up on the coffee table between our feet and
watch movies. We’re getting a little
shack-wacky maybe, waiting for the rain to stop, but that's the cruising
life. Sometimes you just have to wait it
out. (Yep, there goes Jeff again, doing one of his shack-wacky happy-dances across the salon).
We’re hoping for a break in the weather tomorrow. Then watch out U.S. of A! Here we come!
