Cool today especially on the water - inland, definitely warmer! I made sausage, eggs and toast for breakfast and then we set to work on some maintenance jobs on Catrina - cleaning air conditioning filters and vents, adding more chain (100') to anchor and some new shelf liners.
Then we were off to check out the Concrete Coffee Co. What a unique place - Robert Owen Studio started his business 15 years ago (making tables and other items out of concrete). He has quite a workshop and so many funky items including bunches of 33 1/3 records which he was playing. In December, a coffee shop was added along with sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. I had an iced mocha which was soooo good - tasted like a chocolate milkshake and even the ice cubes were made out of coffee. We had a nice visit with Robert and then the gal (we think his wife) gave us each a cinnamon stick that she made - she does all the bakery part, too. It was very good. We will definitely return to this place.
Back to the boat, grabbed our bikes and helmets and off to ride the trail (awesome, along the lake with many benches along the way). And then we rode to Metro for a few groceries and on home 5 miles later.
Lunch on Catrina, followed by naps. We've been in Canada over 2 weeks and have yet to see another boat from the states?
Robin and Louise came aboard around 4 and we had a 3+ happy hour/visit. So much fun comparing family notes, travels in the past 5 years, boating adventures, etc. Robin is from Trinidad has been a college professor, airline pilot and marine engineer + a few other careers! They have 3 sons and a 3-month old granddaughter, Emma. So interesting to chat with them.
