Most of the day from Port Colborne to Port Dover was in light air with the engine running. As we were about an hour away from our planned anchorage at Long Point we looked at the forecast and saw the wind would be too strong overnight to anchor (25 knot gusts from the north east). Shortly after we abandoned our plan to stay at Long Point and head for Port Dover the wind picked up and we hoisted the sails. We had about 90 minutes of a nice broad reach into Port Dover where we tied up and were fast asleep by 9 p.m.
The "sail" (under motor) the next day (Sunday July 23rd) from Port Dover to Port Stanley was less thrilling:
Less thrilling but very tiring nonetheless as we had to put in 12 hours before we found a port with a space big/deep enough for us.
We finally tied up on the wall at Port Stanley which is a charming town with great restaurants, a drug store (thank you, Lord, for Robaxacet), and fresh coffee roasted on-site.

I love the blue bag that Reg is sleeping on. We've seen those at a home show and they look really cool, and comfortable too. :-)
