JUST ONE MORE

JUST ONE MORE

Still squeezing those last few days on the water.  The weather has been superb.  Days of gentle breezes and 25 ° C temperatures make it so hard to say goodbye to yet another spectacular season aboard R.E.D.

Last Hurrah

It was the perfect occasion to let the sails have their last breath before being packed away.

Easy Rider

…and Pig makes three.

Pig

Major Pig (ret’d)

Full main and genoa made an easy sail across our lake but on our return the sails came down, all flaked perfectly and stuffed into their bags ready for  next season.

 

Naked Lady on the Dock

I half considered titling this post ‘ Nake Lady on the Dock’ but we get more than enough spam as it is so here you have it, our beautiful R.E.D. de-nuded of her canvas and ready for stage two of her ‘springerizing’ process.  Be back soon.  We aren’t nearly close to being over this ongoing adventure of ours.  Many more sunrises. Many more sunsets. Many more rising moons.

Our first day on the lake ended in a magnificent storm and we wanted to share some of the images with you…

LITTLE LOOP CLOSED

LITTLE LOOP CLOSED

The last lock passed today
at Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue…
Captain François took the helm,
bringing his two ladies,
and the Pig,
home…

 

Lake of Two Mountains welcomed us…

 

 
 
and at 10:45 we crossed our wake
passing Buoy H33…

 

We may be home,
but our adventures are not over…
…not by a long shot!

 

The lake level is much lower than when we left,
and our dock space was overgrown with water lilies,
rudders scraping the weeds as we entered.
Wonderful welcome home none the less.
