Thursday, July 23rd We started the morning with a few holes
of golf at a nearby 9-hole course near Fineview. The
up-and-coming golf pro aka Kameron Bergevin and Frank
had scouted out the scene the previous day but
unfortunately were unable to join us amateurs as they
slept in (actually, they just knew it would be wet –
the fair-weather golf pros, they are). We golfed a
combination of holes that we’re sure no other golfer
has ever done – i.e. 1,7,8,9, what happened? 2 is too
far, 3,4,5, no time for 6. Sue ditched sailing for
basket weaving afterwards. They had shows and courses
all week at the nature centre which also has nature
trails that we didn’t have time for. Those of us that
did go out sailing got caught in a torrential but
brief downpour. Afterwards, several families were
heading out and we were glad to finally host something
impromptu at our somewhat muddy site.

We finally made it to the boat museum
that afternoon – never considered that there was a
water speed record; their display of the progression
of these records, as technology advanced, was very
well done – from 25mph in 1874 to the current 317mph
record made in 1978. If you have time, you can even
sign out a rowboat for a spin - which happens for sure
if you are an amateur rower!

Ontarios and that’s another story. For those who haven’t been, you should go; it is great! |
