Veronica and Shawn arrived by Sea-doo in the afternoon from Waupoos, and stayed with us for the duration of the long weekend. It was also nice to have a visit from Cathie's brother Len and wife Nancy for the afternoon.
On Monday morning, which was calm with clear blue skies it was time to raise anchors and head for Waupoos. As we anticipated some turning over the two days, Jim proposed he stay on I Dock'd R while Cathie backed Holidaze out of the raft, then let Lionheart back out from between I Dock'd R and ourselves so we could raft together as we raised anchors. Luckily it was only a single twist and we were able to turn ourselves out of the twist. Once Jim was back aboard with Cathie it was off to Waupoos. Veronica and Shawn decided to Sea-doo back instead of towing since the water was calm and still, and I suspect they are bored at our 7 knot pace.
The Upper Gap was calmer than I have ever seen it, and it was hard to tell water from sky on the horizon.
Waupoos Marina is a nice location and is an old school working marina with lots of old boats on dry land being worked on. Located here is the Blue Moose Café.
After check-in and a quick lunch, we all got together for birthday cake and celebration for Shawn, then they were off with Kiwi again for the drive back to Manotick, but not before stopping at the local blueberry farm for some fresh berries.
It was a pleasant surprise to see Len and Nancy again, and even more so to see Evelyn, Cathie and Len's mother.
Since we have free Wi-Fi here, we are loading up a few pictures of the trip from Kingston and our travels over the past few days.
