To Brockville

Sumersland Island

We got up near Summerland Island  ... slowly in drizzle and rain, so we lingered around, made bacon and eggs for lunch.

The sun started peering through the gray so we set out with the wet 170 only.

Singer Castle

The anchor was caught on a submarine cable ...arg.  One of the cottagers came out to check us out and told us not to anchor there since there was a cable.  In fact we avoided the cable the first time we anchored, but when someone anchored too close to us, we re-anchored forgetting about the cable.

Winds were typically about 16 to 17 knots with gusts to 22 knots, generally from the south west making for mostly a run.

The 170 handled okay but we did go one chicken gybe to be safe.

Crossover Island

Passed a ship near Crossover Island and we monitored the US seaway channel on the VHF as the ship transferred to US control.  Interesting and polite conversation.

We had planned to anchor at Stovin Island but as we passed it it looked unsuitable so we headed to Brockville.

Winds were very strong from the south and I went in the club and had difficulties to turn around and managed to dock upwind at the fuel dock.

17 miles in 3 1/2 hours of sailing.

It took over an hour and two calls to check-in at customs.

Brockville

Garth gave us a hand to dock at our assigned dock which was cross winds.We had a much better dock than our first visit.

Safron had a craving for Indian food so we for Tandoori Mint but it was closed Sunday. We walked back and found a decent pizza joint and came back to Brockville Yacht Club.
