Canada Day - 2025

Today, July 1 is "Canada Day" and their citizens are "PROUD" to be Canadian!    We'll celebrate along with them !

Here in Little Tub Harbour, there is a boat that has thee largest Canadian flag we've ever seen (any flag for that matter)!   It's almost bigger than the boat.

My math guy estimates this flag is 8' x 16'

Very foggy early this morning but by 9, it was all clear blue skies and sunshine - only a high of 63 predicted for today?   We had a leisurely start and then kicked it in gear to get some jobs done on Catrina (especially Mark who had a list to tackle).

We have not ridden bikes in... I have no idea!   Mark took his off Catrina and rode to the hardware store - a bit nippy out there with cool temps and windy, but he enjoyed it and got what he needed.   The hardware store was in a converted small mom and pop motel - part of it was the owners' living quarters and rest of it, the store which had a little bit of everything!

I got the inside of Catrina organized and everything in its place - so easy to just put stuff wherever on a boat!    I can't stand clutter!   Good morning for the nomads.

Mark bought "Starlink", internet via the satellites giving us internet anywhere - great for traveling on Catrina as we are always connected!

I checked out more shops and then stopped at the Tobermory Coffee Co for a latte and sat on the patio.   Mark joined me later (he added a cherry danish to his coffee).  Some really cute posters on the patio...





Here in the harbour, there are several tour boats (Bruce Anchor Cruises, Blue Heron Cruises, Tobermory Wave Adventures, glass-bottom boats, etc.) - they certainly take lots of passengers to the shipwrecks, grotto, Flowerpot Island, etc.   We thought about it, but since we're living on Catrina, not too interested in another boat trip.    We did pass by Flowerpot 18 years ago.

We had an early dinner at The Shipwreck and enjoyed our visit with the owner.   He welcomed us and was interested in our lifestyle.   He's very familiar with Fort Myers Beach and has spent many good times at the Lani Kai.    His good friend performs at Margaritaville on FMB.

So yesterday I posted a pic of this sign and today we came across this memory from this same spot - August 10, 2007.   

Almost 18 years younger - no idea where the dog came from?

Another gorgeous evening, but cool!
