Penatanguishine (day 2)

The mechanic here at the marina came this morning to investigate our recurring issue with the port engine. He thinks he has diagnosed the problem, but repairs will have to wait until Tuesday. Therefore we will be here until then. If we had to stay somewhere for a few days, this is definitely the place.
Walked into town to a farmer's market, got fresh vegetables and bread. Went into town again tonight with the dinghy, and got groceries. It's about a 5 minute dinghy ride into the town dock. Wayne spent a good part of the day cleaning the boat (especially getting rid of spiders). This evening just walked around admiring some of the boats here. Had a nice visit with Barb and George from Whisper. They had their mast shipped here, and have spent the past 2 days having it put back on the boat and ready to use.
Weather here was cloudy most of the day, few rain showers, turned out to be a nice evening. Fireworks off in the distance.
Overheard on the dock today, a conversation between a younger and an older boy. "What are you, about 8 years old?" "Yes, I'm 8". Well I'm 12 years old". "Well, I'll be 12"
