We watched 8:00 Mass live with Father Jonathan in Port Clinton., And then left Goderich at 9:20 - it was sunny but chilly on the water.
We were bundled up in our hoodies and a blanket. I spent part of the trip down below but Mark prefers to be on the bridge which definitely has the best visibility. We cruised 57.2 miles today and arrived in Port Elgin (aka Saugeen Shores) at 12:55. We got diesel and settled in along the wall where lots of folks walk past going to and coming from the beach. Changed into shorts and t shirts - upper 70's on land.
We were last here in 2007 - boy, Mark has a remarkable memory from 18 years ago. I wasn't familiar with the various landmarks, but he sure does know his marinas!
A good walk was in order and we are .9 miles from downtown and part of it is uphill!😓 We found the Rabbit Dash coffee shop (cute but strange name - rabbits were a big part of the decor)! 😊We sat in the AC and enjoyed our iced coffees and then took Green Street back down to the water. We passed so many cute cottages and other unique older homes that have been lovingly cared for. And of course...........the wonderful flowers everywhere that we love about Canada. We talked to a gal who lives in a big remodel going on of home built in 1880. Young couple who are enjoying it all....
The beach was packed....
