We enjoyed sleeping in until 8 today. Showered and got dressed. Then enjoyed a lovely breakfast. Mark was working on getting our Florida license tags, only to find that they needed at least 2 weeks to process our request. We don't have enough time before our 30 day temporary tag expires. So, we will be driving back to Florida on Saturday. Also, worked on getting us some US healthcare. I spent the rest of the morning running a load of laundry. Thankful to have clean clothes. By the time the dryer was done, it was time to head to the Port Credit Yacht Club for lunch with our friends, Joe & Pat. It was like stepping back in time to when we were members there. Lunch was delicious. Enjoyed walking the docks after lunch. We even remembered where our sailboats were moored. They had replaced the main docks and everything looked in such great shape. There were several flocks of Canadian Geese flying in the V-formation overhead. We were wondering if they were heading south for the winter. We toured the pool area to find several people in the pool. It was very overcast and looked like rain was heading our way. We made it to our cars before the rain started. Thanks, Joe & Pat for our special time together. Took a short ride out to the boat storage area. We got to see Tom & Charmaine's Lis Tigre sailboat, still on the hard. Headed back to Jacquie's home. Drove thru some heavy rain and traffic. We enjoyed some snacks with a glass of wine. Then headed to the restaurant, Piatto, for a delicious dinner. Watched some of the Cleveland - NY baseball game. Then watched the last half of the movie, The Green Mile. We were fading by 11 pm. Thanks for the many emails and messages. We plan to enjoy our last few days in Canada!

About:
We are both computer folks that were live aboard cruisers back in the 90s. We settled in Jacksonville Florida after escaping the great white north and cruising the Bahamas, T&C, DR and points south down to Trinidad. [...]
Extra: Charabia is a French slang word for nonsense or gibberish. It derives from Arabic "sharab" which means alcohol.When you drink (too much) alcohol, you start talking Charabia. The original owners named her and Mark liked the name so it stuck.
