Rain, wind and a few chores — boat oil change and a sink rough in for the club — kept us tied to the dock. Having moved in June 1, we were more than ready to leave. Ruby is laden like the Clampett’s roadster. Bikes tied to the rail at the bow, kayak secured to the swim platform and the good ol’ dingher in the cockpit.
We’re heading to Cobourg but had a quick stop at Wiggers to talk fall haul out at their yard for some winter boat work. Their channel is so shallow that some poor soul had to stand on the rocky pier to guide us in with arm signals. To the right. To the left. Both arms up for “you’re in the channel”. Depth readings of less than 2 feet 😳!! We made it in fine. We now have an October haul out date set with them. Ruby will be getting some work done.
2.45 p.m. We’re 45 minutes away from Cobourg just about to pass Port Hope. It’s a quiet passage although Environment Canada is forecasting possible heavy rain and thunderstorms for this afternoon and evening.
