Three Blustery Days in Kincardine

We have just finished a 3-day stay in Kincardine.  Our first extended stay anywhere that was a result of planning and not breaking something vital!

We had a nice sail in on Thursday with storms all around us but we were in a nice, dry bubble.

When we arrived in Kincardine were were placed in a slip that was 2' wider than the boat on a fairly narrow channel.  I managed to get her in but not without a lot of help from the dock hands.

We got a real treat on Friday - a visit from home! Our friends Eric and Tegan came up for the night with their wee ones. 

Someone was unimpressed with this photo shoot!

We had a BBQ on shore and then wandered into town for the car show.  Their toddler was in heaven - little boys love everything with wheels.  The kids didn't love sleeping on the boat quite so much.  We had heavy onshore wind all through the night and the boat was rocking a little too much for comfort.  Judging by how many other boaters told me they napped on Saturday afternoon, I don't think anyone got much sleep in the marina that night.

The big winds had caused a build up of waves on Lake Huron which brought out all the surfers, kite surfers, onlookers, and the kid in all of us.

 

Another treat in Kincardine - provisioning with a car!  One of Reg's coworkers keeps his boat here so he took Reg grocery shopping where he bought all sorts of heavy luxury items like spring water and pop!

Having people around also meant we got a rare photo of the two of us together!
