Up, Up & Away

After a stalled start today, 'Boogaboo' was able to finally leave the dock this afternoon around 2:30 for SUMMER HOLIDAYS!! Ya, seems that Mother Nature was in a bit of a mood, as we had just gotten a pump out when a really strong storm hit. Good thing we were stilled tied up to the dock as it was pretty intense!

So, after waitng for the worst of it to pass, we headed out onto Lake Simcoe to see how things were. As it was, the lake was still quite lumpy, so we headed back to the dock to wait for the dark clouds to pass by.

Right now, we are in the Port of Orillia, spending the night and planning to carry on tomorrow to The Bay. Looking forward to doing the next three weeks up there & taking advantage of the new equipment (the dinky, inverter and the new $99 generator Anchor Girl picked up for me over the weekend).

Here's a shot of the boat at the dock - right before the time that we DID'NT pull out :-(

Speaking of Orillia and holidays, we will be ending our 3 weeks back here to catch the 'Elvis Weekend' at the Legion. If any if you are wanting to join in on the fun, I'd suggest that you contact the Port of Orillia to book your slip, as the boat and cottage show is also taking place that weekend, so things could fill up early;
