We had a later start this morning Phil waking a little after 7am and Lorraine getting up at the late hour of 730am. We had to access the “L” locker for Phil to disconnect the wiring for the mast, so it was the perfect opportunity to take rearrange some items out of the L locker […]

We woke early this morning, not having a very good night sleeping after the wind shifted to northwest and pushing our boat onto the fenders between us and the dock, which squeaked loudly all night until Phil got up about 5am to put dish soap on the fenders, which helped the noise tremendously. Wish that […]
When Phil built the hard Bimini, he put a 3/8″ high fiddle around the top of the Bimini, drilled a hole in each forward corner big enough to put a fitting in there with barbed narrow end that a 3/8″ clear tubing could be attached to under the Bimini. The tubing is long enough to […]
This morning we started the engine at 630am with cloudy skies and plenty of water on the boat. With Lorraine at the helm, Phil raised the anchor at 645am. By 715am we had exited Erie Harbor and were on our way to Dunkirk, NY, deciding to have an easy day of it. We started out […]

Yesterday was a day for meeting old friends. We really enjoy the PSSS (Port Stanley Sailing Squadron). They have a nice little club and they are so friendly! Phil has been coming here since since 1979, the first year that he bought Changes. Heather and Murray Rand were here that first year and are now […]
We arrived at Port Stanley this morning about 635am and jilled around until the 7am bridge after a motor boat ride in glassy seas and ❤ knots winds across the Lake. There were lots of stars and also lot of bugs, Canadian Soldiers, but overall, it was a good crossing and we're glad to miss […]
Just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that we have left Grand River Yacht Club at 8pm to arrive at Port Stanley, Ontario Canada tomorrow. Will post more later.
