We got up early today (0730) and ate breakfast at the small café
attached to the marina. The food was good and we felt great about heading out
to our first Waupoos anchorage.
We had decided, since the winds were meant to be from the NE
that we would go the short distance to Black Creek and anchor in the lee of the
peninsula there. We managed to get in close to the nice looking tree-lined
shore but the wind suddenly shifted to the SW so that was the end of that. Wind…
what you gonna do?

We hauled anchor and headed around to the NW side of Waupoos Island itself and joined several other
sail boats and one trawler in the bay there. (The trawler, incidentally, we
recognize as being the Mainship owned by the woman who just a couple of weeks
ago rear-ended me on the Lakeshore Blvd. in Toronto. Coincidence? I think not. We briefly consider running ourselves
stern on to her bow. Just for old times sake. We give up the idea when we get
close and hear the strains of Neil Young’s Cinnamon Girl blasting from the
salon. They obviously have enough problems.)

I took the dinghy out and tried fishing the weed beds near
the shore but with no luck. We have a calm night at anchor but there are
thousands of bugs. This year has been really bad for that, apparently a result
of the warm winter and dry spring.
