We had hoped to sail to Port Colborne today but the wind and seas would not lay down. As one DYC member said, he saw elephants on the horizon, meaning big rough waves. The small craft advisory was supposed to expire at 4:00 and we planned to scoot across the Lake, but the winds just kept blowing. We thought about getting up at 4:30 on Sunday and trying to cross the Lake and the Welland in one day, but decided it would be too much for us senior sailors . . . 20 years ago, perhaps.
So, it turned into a day of cooking and eating. We made omelets in Kerry's new omelet pans. Just cook on one side for 3 minutes, turn the pan over and do it again. Easy to do, and delicious results. Cocktails and dinner were on Excalibur. Kerry made a very tasty spicy portabello mushroom soup and Gretchen made two great salads, a chopped lettuce one and a fruit salad.
During the day we walked the town, read, relaxed and fished a bit. Turns out people come from all over the States to fish here. A power plant in the harbor keeps the water warm and the bass love it. We saw some big ones being pulled out. In the summer the water gets to 85 in the harbor.
It is Sunday morning as I write this. We are now 1 day behind schedule, so we will have to cut a day off Port Dalhousie, because for this part of the trip we have reservations and people to meet. I regret losing a day in Dalhousie as it is a great port,
Love your kitchen! Great table setting!
