Astraphobia

OK. It’s time I started contributing to the blog. My son has done an excellent job of describing our day to day travel and related experiences. My entries will be simple and short, day to day (most of the time),

Penetang Harbour, ON to Midland, ON

Unable to get off the dock on Sunday afternoon. We were forced to stay the night. The winds didn’t really relent until the early morning hours. So, we didn’t have much of a choice. In order to avoid having to
