A day at the Beach in Cobourg

Kids love the waves at the beach in Cobourg! We spent a fun fill day here. We will leave tonight at 9:30pm, due to arrive on the US side in Cape Vincent by 10:00am tomorrow! We love traveling at night, so peaceful, kids sleeping, moon light glistening on the water, sound of the waves lapping on the hull and nothing else,  plus we don’t waste any days traveling.

I always say, I’ll beat any power boat in any long distance race. It’s the case of the turtle & the hare. Example NYC to Florida in 5 days 3 hours!

Our companion boater friends, commented, “Don’t you get dead tired sailing all night, and then sleep all the next day?”  The answer is actually no…Roxane and I take shifts, we each get about 4-5 hours sleep over night, and then on arrival at about 6-8am, we take a 2 hour sleep before the kids get up, and we are good for the day at the beach.

Captain Ed signing off for now!

The boys love the waves at Cobourg Beach.

Enjoying a beautiful afternoon at the beach.
