Today we had the alarm set for 0700. To get to our destination there were two bridges to get through and one only opened once per hour. As it was, we were delayed in getting through that opening so had to wait an hour for the next opening . . . bummer!

We anchored in Lake Sylvia, just so happened Diana and Gilbert were still anchored there! (We knew that.) It was sooooo good to see them again, a couple days over a month since we had seen them last. Diana graciously had us over for lunch and we spent the whole afternoon sitting in their cockpit catching up on things.

The four of us then took our convertible (the dinghy) to the marina for real showers. It was heaven! LOL.

Tomorrow the four of us are going into town. Time to start thinking about reprovisioning for the Bahamas. For those of you not in the know, the supply boat goes into the Bahamas from Florida once a week with fresh produce, milk, etc. Some items are quite pricey and not always available so the more you can take with you, the better. Fresh water is also an issue as it too is brought into the islands by boat. Hard to believe, all that water around and none to drink! The essentials like wine and beer are also more expensive so we have to stock up on those as well. The poor boat will probably sink under the weight of everything.

Weather was gorgeous today. Warm breeze, some clouds but temp around +30C, much better than the -30C back home in Barrie!

Hey Bob, here's your next boat and you don't even have to change the name! (Loretta in case you can't read it.)

One of the boats in last night's parade still "dressed up".

Ditto.
