This year we were in the Bay of Quinte, Hay Bay at Ram Island for Saturday night. We met up with Al & Suzanne did some swimming and lots of sundowners made an incredible surf n turf of shrimp tails with filet mignon. Roasted veggies as a side and it was just tasty. A few more drinks with lots of chatting.
morning came and it was pannacakes as Katy calls them with a great skillet fried potatoes with sausage, peppers and onions miked up with eggs. A regular breakfast on the boat and quickly becoming the house breakfast.
I hoisted the DRS and set the blocks way back this time and put out the spinnaker pole and a nice westerly took us from the ferry all the way to Kerr's bay in a what I will call an awesome sail, tiller pilot was in lace course set and we basically went on that take till I had to round the point at Kerr point to enter the bay.
It allowed us lots of time to chat and laugh we feasted on cheese n crackers, different dips and veggie trays, only downfall was as we were on a run I couldn't fly my kite as the wind was almost dead astern so the string would have fouled the rigging with the kite.
We motored to the western end of the bay and found a small place where we would tuck in close to shore so Bentley had an easier time being rowed ashore for his potty breaks.
One of these days I hope he figures out that a potty break in the cockpit or on the forward deck would be welcomed so we didn't have to plan out so many breaks for the pup.
The fire works started around 9 10 and was finished around 930.
A couple rounds of sequence and it was lights out.
PB&J's for breakfast on the run with an early start and by 11am we were in our dock and cleaning the boat up for the next weekend and unpacking and reloading the truck up.
It turned out to be an incredible weekend after all with some great swimming at Ram Island and a good firework show in Kerr's point.
Where to go next weekend is the question at hand now...
