Today was relatively uneventful as we were forced to stay in
Newcastle.
Brooke had to return to Toronto
via the GO Train in order to pick up our truck from the marina and drive it to
her parent’s place in Port Hope. The truck has the set and props in it that we
will need at the end of the month for her shows in Blyth and we don’t know
exactly where the boat will be at that time.
Brooke’s parents picked her up at 1115 and I spent the day
putting up pictures, doing a hand laundry of the bedding and attaching the fuel
measuring stick to the cabin wall. It’s excitement like this that makes the
whole trip worthwhile. As a result the vodka supply is dwindling.

She returned around 1800 with her parents and I fed them all
hamburgers until they had to leave. Once Brad & Mary had gone we hung about and
talked about tomorrow’s plan. The choice is to go to Cobourg which would be
very boring as we have been there more often than we’d like or to anchor out
near Nicholson Island
near Prince Edward County.
It would be our first anchorage of the trip. This would obviously be preferable
but the wind is a big factor there and the only comfortable direction for it
would be from the east. I guess we’ll wait until the weather forecast for
tomorrow becomes more reliable before we make that decision.
We watched some of the movie Humoresque with Joan Crawford
and John Garfield on the ship’s screen until the plot put us to sleep. Now that
the truck is safely in the hands of the Johnson’s, we can finally feel like the
trip is in our hands.
