Canada

We arrived in Canada on Sunday afternoon after a really rough ride across Lake Ontario.  Even the dog looked a little green around the gills.  It was so rough that we tied Maggie in the fly bridge with us because she kept sliding accross the floor and we were afraid she would slide right off the boat!

Monday, we headed West toward Trenton.  It was cloudy with a chance of storms in the forecast, but by noon, it had cleared off and was nice.  Around 3 o'clock, we noticed some dark clouds forming and we thought we would outrun them, but, alas, we did not.  We got caught in the a terrible thunderstorm for nearly 2 hours while we were underway in the middle of Big Bay.  The wind was blowing at least 40 mph and it rained so hard that Maggie went downstairs by herself.  She was scared and so were we.  I made Mike put on his life jacket and I put my on, too.  We made it through safely and after the storm, we anchored in a quiet little cove and cooked pork chops on thegrill.

We are not sure why, but the next morning, after we were underway, Maggie started acting odd.  Long story short, she had diarreah and she did it on the boat!  We were so happy that she finally used the boat, we didn't even care that we had to clean it up!  She kept running up to the bow and looking for that mat that we had thrown out because she wouldn't use it. She is finally over her upset stomach and we are wondering if she will continue to go to the bow.

We'll keep you posted.
