OUR MARINA'S FALL SUPPER

Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day.  The temperature got up to 27C.  A real treat for us for a September Saturday, when the norms are around 15 - 20 C.  So we all enjoyed the outdoors as much as possible.  Gathering and socializing at the Gazebo and the picnic tables.





The temperature was up, but so was the wind, so it was quite choppy out on the lake.


As it was too rough out on the lake, Dan and I decided to take a tour of the harbour in our dinghy, before we put it away for the season.

We traveled to the farthest corner of the back harbour.

Then we cruised around to the outer harbour, where there was some chop and we could feel a little spray from the harbour mouth.











We stopped in at "Loafhaven", but nobody was home.












 As we came back along the channel to the inner harbour, and it was easy to see how low the water has become.                                                



 






             
Then it was a quick turn around the inner harbour and back to our home dock and time to think about putting the dinghy away for another year.












There was a good turnout for our Fall Supper Saturday night.  The first of the turkey dinners we will all have between now and Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I love turkey dinners, but, Yuck!!  I don't want to think about Thanksgiving and Christmas yet.  I'm hoping for two more nice weather weekends before we pull the boat out of the water on Oct. 1st.
