Pics of Us and Others




















At the beginning of July Stan had a birthday, so Ned baked him cakes in his electric skillet, of all things, and then Bob decorated them. The round cake reads “Stan the Man” and the rectangular one reads “LXIII”. There was a real nice picnic area along the wall where we tied up for the night, so that’s where we celebrated.







Dave and Polly Brown live in New York on Henderson Harbor on the shore of Lake Ontario. It is on our route to Canada so we decided to stop and visit with them again. We’d last seen them while we were in the Bahamas last February. We ended up staying with them over a week and doing lots of sight seeing.

Here’s a picture of Dave








And a picture of Ned with Polly.















Beat Cop in Kingston, Ontario—it was rainy when we first entered Canada and when we caught sight of this cop walking by in his coat, he looked way too much like he was a flasher! What a photo op….
















A good picture of Stan

















And a good picture of Paul
















Another picture of Stan—Had to include it because I don’t know what he’s gesticulating about!




While we were in Peterborough, Ontario, we lucked into TWO free concerts in the park. The first one was a tribute to the BeeGees by a group known as Staying Alive. It had been rescheduled because of rain on the original date. It was attended by about 2,000 people and was really good.

The next night was the Wanted Man group, doing a tribute to Johnny Cash.
And that was really, really good! It was attended by 8,000 people. We felt very luck to have happened upon two free concerts and to have both of them be exceptionally good—and the park was right there at the marina. Afterwards, Bob and Trish had us take their picture with the Wanted Man group. We tried to buy one of their CDs after the show, but the line was long and dang if they didn’t run out of CDs about 10 people in front of us! Oh well.















Bob’s “new” Canadian hat—a couldn’t resist purchase at the local thrift store...














Here’s Stan and me atop a mountain by Gore Bay. We’d climbed the mountain to find a geocache and were amazed at the incredible view. It was a multi-cache that we did with Ned, and it was by far the most challenging terrain we’d ever done on a geocache.















While weathered in in DeTour Village, MI, we met Bob and Beth Uehlein on S/V Island Time. We met them again on Mackinac Island and in Mackinac City. Then again in Charlevoix, where they have their slip. And they became our new BFFs.
