September 8, 2017. Ivy Lea, Ontario.

The weather prediction sounded dire--rain this morning and thunderstorms this afternoon. We left the docks at Gordon Island around 9 AM and sailed over to look at Mulcaster Island. The docks were closed, but it looks like a nice place to return to.

We then sailed over to Peck's Marina at Ivy Lea, the nearest marina that sells gas on the docks. It was raining by then so we asked about dockage, but they did not have room for us. We came instead to Williams Marina, right next door. When I asked for a store and restaurant, the woman at the office said there was a store at the KOA right across the street and stores and restaurants in Ivy Lea, about a ten minute walk. Yi Chia and I walked across the street, and then walked a mile to the campground for a loaf of bread and a coke for Bill, who was not feeling very well.

A little later, Yi Chia and I headed out to find Ivy Lea. We walked on the bike path, yet another part of the Waterfront Trail I rode a couple of years ago.

We walked a mile and a half before we gave up and turned around, not a ten minute walk in anybody's world!  

We had a nice view of the Tower, which I hope to be able to visit tomorrow. It affords a spectacular view of the river and the islands. Our only worry is where we would dock. We saw the International Bridge shining in the evening light.

We returned to the boat without finding a store, and deciding that the only restaurant we saw was entirely too expensive.
