Boat Rescue day In Penetang.

It was another beautiful day yesterday. The sun was shining the birds where singing and the boats were sinking. 

Well not all the boats but the one little aluminium 16 footer was. Apparently he has been taking on water for quite some time, but he was satisfied that the bilge was keeping on top of it so he never got the problem looked at. I guess yesterday the bilge decided not to keep looking after it.

 It was sunk on one side, engine almost completely under water and something needed to be done about it. 

So Jeanette to the Rescue. This Young lady operates the Canadian Effort with her husband who is currently out of town.  Since she was alone, the boys quickly went to her aid and got the boat from under water to gunnels showing, to owner getting into it.  

It was the excitement of the day, while a dozen other guys looked on.

Once the boat was saved and the show was over, I got to the shores of the day until Susan came by the help us check out all the sights in Penetang. We spent the afternoon going from one sight to the other making sure they were open and available for us when Mom and Dad came.  Only 2 more sleeps now!

After our gallivanting around  we took out the clubs and went for a short nine holes of Golf. Jeff and Jim were very serious about it all. 

Susan and I really played an  equivalent of an 18 hole given that our drives are so short. It got a little frustrating, to the point where Susan turned into the Karate Kid. 

We retired on the top deck for a late dinner and then a quick game of cards.

I'll give you one hint as to who lost that one!

Today is turning out to be a lovely day so far, so we'll likely go try our hand at another Golf game. I won't keep score!
