September, 2020

 September went better than expected.

We started out with Theresa's Birthday celebrations, which included a nice dinner with her friend and a surprise lawn decoration, courtesey of the kids. Ended with a quick trip to Brandon.

Schools started for all the Grand Kids - they all loved it.

More birthdays followed - Chloe and Quinn, all celebrated in style, including the "Great Pinata Bash". 

Visiting Fort Whyte, walked around The Hood and Bio Reserve, lots of wildlife pix.

Got a nice last sail in with Keenan, Quinn and Chloe. 

Ended the month with decommissioning the boat and getting it ready for haul-out.

August, 2020

August was a mixed bag month.

First 2 weeks were spent in self isolation after my return from Holland. Not much doing of anything. 

The 2nd half of the month was better. Visited the kids for an overnighter in Sioux Narrows, Ont. where they had rented a waterfront cabin. Had a great time there. 

Also managed our first ( and likely only ) sail of the year with Alicia, Drew and the boys. Nice winds, near the end going 12-14 knots, so good speed and heeling. Boys loved it - Alicia had to get used again to being on a moving and heeling boat.

Went back to the boat some days later, however too wavy, so no sailing. Kids had a fab time on the beach though. 

And that was pretty much it for Summer 2020. Might still get some nice days before the snow flies - fingers crossed.
