Sunday and Monday sailing

After Jimmy and Tilda left, we got up the next day and had breakfast of sausage and eggs.

We set sail as we left the club.  Nice day.  We did several rounds of the lake and about 5, we anchored at Grand Anse.

We had chicken and wine and cauliflower on the BBQ.  The aluminium foil we had turned funny and we had thrown it out.

Nice nite with a gift from James.

Squall on Lake St. Louis
The next day we stayed anchored.  We took an afternoon nap and then noticed that the boat was rotating around the anchor.

Daniele looked out the hatch and we had rotated 180 degrees and there were ominous clouds ahead.

We got up and evaluated the situation.  We turned on the VHF and there was a call for a boat near the RSTLYC entrance.  Then there was a mayday relay for a platoon boat near Dorval Island.

Apparently, there was a squall on the lake.

Missed it by that much


The sky was much better where we were.


Fine in Ile Perrot














Squall in Pointe Claire











After the weather cleared up, we set sail for some place closer.  We ended up motoring to the sandbars and anchoring there.

Supper was pork chops that had been frozen aboard two weeks earlier.  Not bad.  Awesome Sunset



Tuesday morning, we motored back to the club, washed down the deck and headed back to work at 11AM.
