Our boat adventure ended yesterday afternoon as we arrived safely back in our home base marina. Had a lovely trip back from Ottawa. Made it down to Kingston where we picked up our friend Randy who joined us for the trip to Trenton on August 27th. Randy & Sherron invited us over to their house for dinner and a sleepover. It was wonderful to see them again. On Saturday, Philippe & Maddie met us at their house. We then brought them back to the boat for an overnight trip to Frankford. We were thrilled to see them after all this time. Maddie is just too precious. Randy was kind enough to drive us over and pick up Philippe & Maddie the next day as they had to go back home. We continued on up the Trent/Severn on a windy Sunday (effects of hurricane Irene). Stayed at locks all the way up. In Buckhorn we picked up Dale Mann, a friend of Mike's from his younger years. They hadn't seen each other in about 40 years. Great reunion! Dale left us in Fenelon Falls to return to his cottage near Algonquin Park. Thanks Dale for the great time, the great wine and desserts. Managed to swim 2 days in a row on our way home. That was wonderful!
