Thessalon


Thursday, August 28, 2014
Stats: Turnbull Islands to Thessalon 9:30 – 3:00 37m (total: 251 nautical miles)

We had expected to spend a few days hunkered down in the Turnbulls as bad weather had been predicted.  But surprise!  We woke to find beautiful calm water and light winds.  Travel day!!
The anchor went up and once again, in my jammies, we picked our way out through the rocks and out into the open water. 

After a pleasant, uneventful cruise, with warm showers and chores completed underway, we pulled into the little town of Thessalon.  They are predicting rain and thundershowers for the next two days so a town stop will let us explore small town Ontario between the raindrops.  

We were able to arrange to meet with Jeff's sister in Thessalon, as she just happened to be passing through and the timing worked out perfectly!  Dale and her friend, Lyngie (that's what Dale calls her. It stands for Lynn "G",  to distinguish her from Jeff's other sister, Lynn "C") came on board and we enjoyed an hour or so of visiting, wine and cheese (thanks Dale!) before they carried on their road-trip to Thunder Bay.

It it's neat that you were able to fit in a visit with Jeff's sister along the way!
