Well if tomorrow is rough what do you call the 4 footers off Long Point and the False Duck Islands we had today.
We had about 3 hours of some rough confused seas until we rounded Point Petre.
Sorry, there are not pictures as we were using two hands to hold on with.
Of course we never thought it was going to be that rough, and we all suffered a little for the lack of preparation, Rachel's table was overturned and she broke one of her favourite bowls, not to mention the tossed contents of the salon. Jim and Cathie had one very seasick Kitten on board while we encountered some dinghy davit damage. Going to need to redesign our davits for the future.
The only ones without complaint were Bryan and Chris, in their seaworthy Sea Ray. I think the only thing Bryan was complaining about was the lack of lunch as Chris was not going to try getting below deck in the waves.
Bob was anxious to get out to the weather and he put the diesel to the TollyCraft and was in Wellington by more than an hour ahead of us.
It was great to finally get to see Sand Banks from the water view, something we have been wanting to do for many years.
I was a little concerned about the channel into Wellington from Lake Ontario as it apparently can silt up and become quite shallow. However there was no problem as we had 10 feet all the way to the docks.
Wellington is a great place to stop and visit. We plan to dinghy around West Lake and visit the sand dunes, dine out and take a vineyard tour over the next couple of days.
