Still in Little Current on the North Channel
Monday August 6. The sound of whistling wind told us that we will not be traveling until the weather improves. Some Loopers left on Monday and reported a very lumpy ride; many others stayed put. The arrival of good friends Jane and Paul on Happy Destiny confirmed that our decision to stay was meant to be. Hooray! These Laggard Loopers have finally caught back up! The Lillys (Seaquel), Cowhigs, and Staggs enjoyed a delightful reunion dinner at the Anchor Inn. All of us need to be pushing on for various reasons, but meanwhile we are enjoying the fellowship of great Looper friends. We're hoping to head out tomorrow!
Almost forgot this . . . on our way to dinner, we ran into Looper Bob Hilligus on Catch Me If You Can and heard his tale of woe. Three bad things happened to his gorgeous 46-foot Grand Banks Europa today: a sailboat crashed into his stern while docking, doing a fair amount of damage, his vacu-flush head erupted, spewing sewage everywhere, and his microwave died. He was shaking his head, but somehow he was still smiling. A great guy who certainly didn’t deserve this kind of day!
