It was a late start today. We did not have to be out of the marina until 11 a.m. so we took advantage of it, besides we only had a 3 hour journey to get to our next anchorage at Prinyer Cove. We had warm weather and mostly sunny skies. I did a power walk (they seem to be getting shorter) into town and down an old residential street. The houses looked like mansions, on manicured lawns with gardens the colour of the rainbow. Beautiful!

Leaving Picton, the winds were again strong and waves about 3 feet but they were right on our stern, pushing us. The boats going into Picton though sure had it rough, pounding the waves. We arrived at our anchorage just before 2:30 and set anchor. The anchorage was quite busy with mooring balls all around appearing like land mines! The bottom was extremely weedy and we had to re-anchor a couple of times as we were dragging. Hopefully we are set now for the night.

Tomorrow is going to be a no travel day. Windfinder is predicting a good weather window for crossing Lake Ontario early Saturday morning. From this location, it is approximately 41 nm, at 5 to 6 knots, maybe 7 to 8 hours to Oswego. Jorge is planning on revisiting the securing of the mast, emergency VHF antenna, etc. tomorrow so it will still be a busy day. I'm wondering when we won't be busy!
