Traveling Home, Wemps Bay and Home.

Long trek home!

From Leek Island it is a 6 hours trek to Wemps Bay on Amherst Island past Kingston.

We stopped at the Kingston Yacht Club for 20 mins, re-fuel, fill water tanks, hose down cockpit, empty trash bags, buy dinghy fuel, oil. And were off.

Wemps Bay is our little secret. A very large bay enough room for dozens of boats on anchor. Large sandy beach, shallow enough that you can walk out about 300-400 meters. Soft sand on your toes the whole way out. Every time we have been here, we were the only ones here. Yes, Roxane makes bread here too.

We swam off the boat, had a nice sunset dinner. Then off to our friends boat by dinghy for cocktails.

We swam in the bay at sunset before dinner.

We woke at 5:30 am for a 6:30am departure to Cobourg.

We stopped mid afternoon a few miles offshore, and everyone of us on both boats jumped into the lake for a cool re-freshing swim. In 150 feet of depth. I did this in the ocean this spring in 5,000 feet, now that was spooky.

Kids relax on the dinghy on the fore deck during the long ride.

We arrived in Cobourg at 6:30pm, another pit stop, stretched our legs, empty garbage, Dinner out in Cobourg, ice cream and back on the boat. We departed at 9pm and hope to arrive in Toronto by 7am going through the night.

There is suppose to be a storm tomorrow, and we did not want to get caught in it. Besides that I have a couple days of work on the boat unloading, cleaning and prepping for races on Tues & Wed, client cruises Thurs & Friday. What a busy schedule.

Signing off for now.
