And More Changes

It was a windy ride back to Little Current from Covered Portage Cove, and we traveled a little quicker to flatten out the ride. We arrived at the bridge a little earlier than needed, so we checked out Harbour Vue by water. Once we were through the bridge, we arranged a slip on the west side of A dock. Between the winds and the current, it's going to be a wild few days. We had Paul and Deb over for happy hour and enjoyed catching up. Tug lost patience with us by 7:30 and insisted on having his dinner. We went for a walk, but it was chilly, so we headed back to the boat and watched YouTube. Friday, I did some laundry, and Randy started organizing the boat. Randy dropped into Turners for the Friday contest, and he was the winner. His prize was awesome, two sweatshirts, a ball cap, and a toque. As the question was about Baie Fine, so were the prizes. We took Tug for a walk to check out where we would park the car and decided to stop in at Boyles Marine. What a great decision. Randy asked if they had room for our boat in their inside storage, and Pat said yes. What! We've been asking about inside storage for years and haven't even been put on a waiting list. It's quite a bit more expensive and it's not heated but what a great opportunity. We told Pat we'd be back Saturday morning to let him know. Roy was hosting the Cruisers Net Happy Hour at the Anchor Inn, so we headed over. There was a big crowd. Deborah Ann was in town dropping off their guest, and they came bearing gifts. They used to have a green 32 Nordic Tug. Someone had given them a hat from Nordic Tug with a red tug on it. They also had a hand towel with a red 32 tug on it. That was so nice of them. We met a lot of new people and enjoyed the pizza and birthday cake. We took Tug for a walk and listened to the music downtown. The docks and wall were full, and there were lots of boaters out for a stroll. After we took Tug back to the boat, we decided to go to the Legion for a beer. There were four people at the bar and four boaters at a table. The four boaters were the ones we suggested the Legion to, so we joined them. They shared some great stories. Saturday morning, we went to Boyles and signed up for inside storage. They can accommodate us on August 19th, and now we won't have to come back to put the winter cover on. We let Jill at Harbour Vue know we won't be storing there, and she was very gracious. It was windy, cool, and wet for most of the day. We spent some time checking out the shops, and whenever the rain stopped, we would get outside. We had a nice dinner at the Anchor Inn, then watched a movie onboard. The wind howled, and it rained most of the night. Tomorrow will be an interesting day. I'm heading home, and Randy is staying onboard with Tug.Baca selengkapnya
