Just Pushed off PCYC for the Thousand Islands
Sunday Night 10:30 pm, just pushed off and on our way to the Thousand Islands.
We will travel over night as the kids sleep. We should arrive at our first port of call in Cobourg at about 8am in the morning. There we will meet friends who have spent the week-end making there way there.
We spent our week-end enjoying the festivities of the Port Credit Yacht Club’s 75th anniversary. As a director of the club, I was fortunate enough to partake in the ceromonies and got to meet Mayor Hazel of Mississauga. Probably the longest running and oldest Mayor in the world.

Part of the week-end was also spent preparing the boat, turning it into a cruise boat from a race boat, and provisioning her.
