Thursday - June 20

 Another steamy morning in Hamilton.    We walked to Williams Fresh Cafe for breakfast and my latte.   Had a nice shower between 2:30-4:30 AM with thunder and lightning.   Sure wish the rain would fall down on IL.

Did 2 loads of laundry so that is now all caught up.   We left West Harbor at 11:30 and made the noon opening of the Burlington Bay Lift Bridge after crossing under the QEW (Queen Elizabeth Way).    We've driven on it (rental car); crossed over it (Mark's bike) and yesterday/today, under it on Catrina.

We cruised 25.5 miles to the Credit Village Marina in the town of Port Credit in the city of Mississauga.   We passed many many massive homes along the shoreline.   Nice marina and several guys waiting on the dock to take our lines.    Happiness is seeing helpful hands on deck~

We walked to Snug Harbour (very close) for a late lunch - big place with lots of inside and outside dining and very good.  Mark had the ribs and I had coconut shrimp and a Caesar salad.  After the heat from yesterday and this morning, we actually got chilly on the water today.    And it was very hazy out there but cooler here at Port Credit and a big relief from yesterday.

 Had some rain around 5 and then really heavy stuff at 6:45.    At 8 when the rain stopped, we walked one block over to where all the restaurants, bars, ice cream, coffee shops were.    We each had waffle cones from Scoops - yum!   On home and called it a day!

It's not everyday you see a fox on the dock....he's bolted down and some 

folks posed for a picture earlier today!

There must be a story somewhere???

Credit Village Marina has yellow lights on their electrical pedestals - maybe that's 

what keeps the bugs away.   Very happy we've not had any bugs since we arrived on Lake Ontario.
