Technically the 4th is not a holiday here in Canada, yet my body seemed to demand a day off.
Perhaps it was the sail to Lockport coupled with a cross town hike upon my return and the lugging of supplies back to Makina. The old body doesn't seem to have the stamina it once had. Whatever the reason, after a shower ashore and some laundry washed it was back to Makina where a lot of napping took place. In between that napping there was lots of snacking. The newly stowed supplies took a real dent.
Rest and calorie intake seemed the theme of the day.
You would think this would have me up through the night, but no. After some evening gaming, once in my berth, it was uninterrupted sleep straight through to sunrise!

A rinse and repeat kind of day with the exception that there had been some new arrivals during the night. Both were huge. One a power vessel from England that had to be at least 60 feet in length and lovely catamaran. Unfortunately the catamaran left before being able to get a pic of it.

Being the weekend there was the Saturday Race for entertainment today. The old body was still being hungry and lazy. Could not even bother going to shore for the post race gathering at the Club's bar. At this point the supplies were starting to get low again! 😃
My Daughter contacted me to let me know they will be joining me early this week. This was good news as there is an itch forming to get underway again. Hoping that the weather will be as kind as it has been of late. Only time will answer that one.
