A two cup day two days in a row

The winds blew harder out of the north today than they did yesterday. Thus it was a really good day to be tied up with a breakwater off our stern and buildings, trees, and a hill off our bow. Even with that, all of the boats are swaying in the slips, lines creaking and flags flapping. There are some discrepancies between the various weather apps as to when the winds will abate. At the moment, the thought is we might be able to get back underway tomorrow mid morning. But we will not know for sure until the morning forecasts can be reviewed.

We took a longish walk into town to do a little provisioning. It was actually chilly bordering on down right cold in the gusts. Most of us Americans were wearing jackets and hats. The Canadians? They were in short pants and shirts. I guess they are used to the cold.

This close to crossing the border, care should be taken to buy what is needed without buying what will not be eaten yet but cannot be taken across the border when the time comes. That time should come somewhere in the next week or so depending, of course, on the weather. We are getting toward the end of this phase of the loop. A side trip to Sault Ste. Marie to take a train ride into the mountains is one last excursion. Soon after that, we will be tackling the two hundred plus miles of Lake Michigan. That should be interesting.

It was too cold and windy to stay out long enough to get a good one!
