Travel with Albion - Tuesday

Tuesday  September 18th

 

We are holding over in Port Elgin, our second day.  Strong southerlies, waves up to 2 meters.  Not conditions Albion can handle.  Port Elgin is not Tobermory but not a bad place.  There are lots of cottages and B&B's a beach town destination for Canadians in the summer. time.  Town is a mile away and has everything we could want (well, almost!).   After a few days like this I find myself looking more fondly at larger boats.  But with a larger boat, I would miss the opportunity of experiencing these towns.

 

We hiked along the lake 4 or 5 miles yesterday to the next town, South Hampton.   Tempting to start moving as the weather here yesterday was warm and sunny.  But the winds are blowing this morning, and we must stay in…

 

Four sailing days out of Port Huron, so close, yet so far to finishing Huron...
