Benjamin's to Shanly Island 8/30/17

Little Detroit

Jennifer bought me a navigational aid reminder.  I'm really impressed it works perfectly with no set up required!!

Enticer (the yacht) pulled out this morning and went right by our bow.  We awoke to another day of mixed sun and cloud. Heading north we left the Benjamin's and headed for Little Detroit cut.  It's quite narrow here (but nowhere near as narrow as some places on the Trent and Rideau waterways) and the common practice is to call a Securite before passing through. We passed through uneventfully and decided to anchor for the night just west of Little Detroit at Shanly Island.  The wind had picked up and was from the west clocking through the night to north and we would be well protected here.  There was a couple fishing in the anchorage and we asked what they were fishing for and if they wanted to sell any of their catch.  Unfortunately the answer was negative so we had meatloaf and garlic mashed with corn on the cob for dinner.  Debbie and Jennifer worked and finished off a jig saw puzzle and started a new one during the afternoon.  I worked on a nap and Abby and I were very successful at it.  I think Bill had one too as there were reports of some purring coming out of the salon on Seas the Day!

Finished the day with Homeland and then off to bed.
Off to the beach for some excercise

Abby's playground.  She ran around and around
