More touring, and a sail around Charlottetown Harbour

Another lovely day. Nan and Cath went for a long walk to their library and Stratford Market. They were able to take mostly paths and avoid the busy roads.


After lunch the 4 of us went out to nearby Tea Hill, where Pat flew his drone for a bit:



Then back home for afternoon Tea again.


In late afternoon we went in to the main Charlottetown marina for a sail around the harbour on Kurt’s Saga 36 ft sailboat. Kurt is Pat’s brother, does charters on his boat for the summer crowds, and traditionally treats us to a sail when we visit. Just 6 of us on today’s cruise.



Unlike some sails we’ve had there, it was quite breezy today. No problem for Kurt, but kinda exciting for some of us landlubbers. 

Cath even got to steer, sort of:


As often happens Kurt let me steer the boat, under close supervision of course. Does Kurt look nervous? I don’t think so, but I sure was at times:


After a pretty exciting 2 hr sail, we berthed the boat at the marina, tucked in to the snacks, and had a good visit.

In the evening we “traded” a couple of shows we each like. We watched an episode of one the Martels like, called Plebs. Then we watched an episode of one of our favorites, The Detectorists.

It got down to 6C overnight, cool enough to plug in the electric heater for a while in the morning.
