N 44° 18.709', W 076° 10.407'
Our daughter Krista and her fiance Mark made it out for their visit. I picked them up at the Gananoque free dock at around 1300 on Saturday. One of our dock neighbours graciously loaned me his dinghy to make the trip (thanks Bill!).

McDonald Island (2013-08-23)
N 44° 18.674', W 076° 10.454'
Sorry for not posting for a few days. We spent the first part of this week on Aubrey Island. It's a beautiful island, very scenic and peaceful. Unfortunately it's also in a bit of a cell network black hole. I was able to get the coordinates and map updated on the blog, but didn't have enough connectivity to make a post.

Gananoque Municipal Marina (2013-08-18)
N 44° 19.300', W 076° 09.887'
Tonight finds us in a slip at the Gananoque Municipal Marina. We'll be forgoing the budget busting pleasures of staying in marinas as much as possible, but it will be necessary from time to time. We've budgeted in one to two marina slips per month, to coincide with when we need to reprovision, do laundry, or just take a break and spoil ourselves a bit. Ironically, we're finding we are really starting to prefer to anchor out more than being tied up at a dock and close to the noise of having a lot of people and boats around.

One Month
We cast off the lines on the 15th of July, one month ago. Things are going great, and the boat is doing great for us. So far we've put 71.1 hours on the engine, and 428 statute miles under the keel.

Beau Rivage Island (2013-08-14)
N 44° 18.266', W 076° 11.229'
The day dawned grey and wet, with rain showers off and on until around 1000. We had planned to relocate to one of the Parks Canada islands in the Admiralty Islands today, but seeing the weather we briefly thought about staying put for one more day.

A down day in Brakey Bay (2013-08-13)
We decided to take a day off from travelling and just relax here. I took the time to take care of a few chores. I ran the genny for a few hours today to try to catch up on the battery charge we used this weekend on Cedar Island (a no generator zone). Then I tackled the outboard again.

Brakey Bay (2013-08-12)
N 44° 13.661', W 076° 13.703'
Tonight finds us peacefully anchored in Brakey Bay, near the eastern end of Wolfe Island, and a much more pleasant spot to spend the night than where we were last evening.
