Wednesday September 12th
We are still hanging out in Tobermory. Not a bad place to be. We hitched a ride on the tour boat yesterday over to Flower Pot Island and went on a gorgeous hike around the Island. It is called Flower Pot because it has large rock structures on the rocky shore that look like big flower pots. The Islands and waters around here are beautiful!
The storm from the North has passed and all is calm. But now there is a big blow expected from the South with waves at 2 meters by noon. We will be traveling south and there are reefs along the shore for the next 45 miles with no easy, safe place to tuck in. So we will take no chances with the weather on the next leg, we are holding in Tobermory again today (tonight is our 3rd night here). Last year on Ontario we held over in Hamilton for 5 nights, that was Shirley's week of sailing, Hamilton. If we were to pick a town to be held over, Tobermory would be a good choice. Library, grocery store, numerous restaurants, hiking trails. What else could we want!…
