The winds did not subside so we stayed for another day. We had breakfast with David H. at the local greasy spoon and after that David left in our car to drive back to Toronto. Since we weren't going anywhere, we decided to go for a walk to the Visitor Center for the Bruce Trail. It's not very far but technically we did walk along the Bruce Trail. Only 742.5km to Niagara.
We ran into Wade from Stella B. We last saw Stella B in Gore Bay. Stella B had the intention of hauling Gore Bay and taking a seasonal slip next year. Apparently the 5 grandkids ganged up on Wade and in no uncertain terms demanded that he return the boat to Goderich so he is delivering the boat back to Goderich.
Wade's crew is Terrence who has a Bayfield 36 in Bayfield. He is an old friend of Dwight and Carol, who are now on their journey south. Terrence used to work the boat show at Dwight's booth. He was very happy to hear that they were journeying south again.
For dinner, we went back to the Fish & Chip Place for the famous Tobermory Fish Taco. We shared a table with Wade and Terrence. The tacos did not disappoint. Excellent as ever.
Belinda and I ended the evening with a nightcap at the Crowsnest Pub.

The wind eased up slightly overnight but today's forecast was for 20 kts of wind from the SW veering to the W at 20 kts and then backing to NW 20 kts. We decided to stay put for another day. One power boat left this morning but returned a couple hours later. They had encountered 6 to 8 ft waves and the occasional 10 ft wave. Its nice to have one's decision confirmed.
We went for a walk around Bug Tub Harbour over to the Big Tub Resort. We ran into Eva and Mark from Liberty's Reach, a Tartan 3500. They had also returning south along Lake Huron and decided to stay put for the day.
This is the view from patio of the Big Tub Resort. Lunch was good and beer cold.
We also had a visitor joining us for lunch.
After lunch we walked out to the Big Tub lighthouse.
The big news for the day is the blue moon that is happening tonight. This is our 4th full moon of our adventure this summer. We are hoping that we will be back at QCYC before the next full moon. It's Pig Roast weekend at QCYC. This the first Pig Roast that we will miss in the 17 years that we have been at QCYC.
