That September in the Rain. And the Sun. And the Heat. And the Fog.

Summer arrives late in The Thousand Islands

After two nights at Loyalist Cove Marina at the end of the three month Summer Cruise (we still hadn’t been home yet), we head out again on the first day of September. We have booked a slip for the last month of the season at the Gananoque Municipal Marina, in the Thousand Islands, where we will leave the boat and go back to Toronto. Then, after getting our landlubber legs back, we will revisit our old cruising waters in a couple of short visits back to True North III, and Stephen will host his buddies for a weekend, too.

On Friday, September 1, we wake up to a cold morning. Very cold – it’s 6 degrees C, and feels more like 3. As during the rest of the summer, the weather has gone mad. But it is bright and clear, and we make the trip to Gananoque (38 miles) in good calm weather, and have a mini-cruise of some of the islands before we tie up at the marina.
