One of our issues with keeping our boat in Cobourg is that you are on open water (Lake Ontario) and there’s no close place to anchor overnight. We recently discovered a spot close by.
I’m a coffee drinker, it’s part of my routine and I enjoy sitting down with a good cup of coffee to start my day. I have found a simple and quick way to make coffee on the boat.
Look what the courier just dropped off at our doorstep! We are so excited!
This is kind of exciting, a vlogger that I follow posted a video about Macgregor Sailboats and I saw a picture of our boat in it. Video above will start about 5 minutes in where you will see our ...
We survived the storm in Belleville and now complete our journey, mostly motoring, back home to Cobourg through the Murray Canal.
We continued our journey home from the Thousand Islands, leaving Picton and heading towards the Murray Canal. We know there’s a good chance of a wind storm but we go anyways.
We stumbled across this beer called “Foghorn” in the liquor store and had to try it out!
We find out why anchoring at Halfmoon Bay was difficult and then spend the day at Little Bluff Conservation Area. That afternoon we head home via the more protected northern route, Adolphus Reach.
Today we get to feel all posh by anchoring our sailboat out in front of a winery and taking our inflatable to shore to meet up with some friends.
I am here to publicly admit, I was wrong, Lori was right. As you can see from the picture above, I was overly optimistic that the storm we were heading towards would blow on by before we got there.

Every year there’s always something that makes our plans more complex than they need to be. This year, we are changing our haul out location.
We just received the designs back from Precision Sails. We are super excited but have no idea what to look for in these sail designs. What do you think?
This is one of our favourite spots to anchor, mostly because of the lovely people that were there the first time we tried to anchor. This time the island was empty due to COVID but it was great to be… Continue Reading →
Meet out daughter, Bri. Her first trip on a sailboat was terrifying and she vowed never to go sailing again. Today we attempt to turn her into a sailor.
A quick review and information for the Gananoque marina. And then the story of our daughter and son-in-law joining us for the next part of our adventure.
Our friends suggested we explore the Wandering Channel just outside Gananoque and find a new spot to anchor. It was a bit of an adventure and we took one wrong turn.
We took a break and stayed in the same spot next to Huckleberry Island and explored the area by dinghy.
