Genevieve is the first in the water. We had to wait for high tide; the bay is quite shallow. Launch went with out a hitch, the mast is secure, and the rest of our inventory has been properly stowed. There are a couple of projects still to do but we are hoping to do a shake down sail later this week.

We are out of the cottage and living on the boat.

We had the inventory stowed in a heated locker that we shared with a couple
Joe Watson and Yvonne McTeer who have been sailing the waters of Georgian Bay, Ontario, for the past 12 years, on their Grampian 30 sailboat “Modaki.” In the summer of 2012, Joe and Yvonne set sail from their homeport of Owen Sound, Ontario and this summer will continue on to PEI, Madeline Islands, Bras d’Or Lake and Nova Scotia, before heading south and to warmer weather. - See more at: http://www.torontoboatshow.com/features/seminars/#sthash.
It is cold and raining we have had only a few days of sunshine. We are still wearing jackets and long pants. Brrr.

We keep hearing about a great restaurant that is famous for it’s clams and have to check it out. We place one order to share. The special is clams and scallops for $18.75 that were very tasty but you have to love deep-fried & battered. The serving was huge and naturally John had to document the moment.
