August 1 Friday
We go and see Sherri in the hospital in the morning. She is in good spirit. We stop and top off our groceries and head up Indian Arm for a week or more. A little excitement just as we tie up to the dock, smoke is bellowing out of the engine room. We shut down the engine and wait until the smoke clears and Bill goes down to the engine room to discover that the alternator is broken the belt is burnt . We decide to stay and enjoy the great weather and deal with it when we get back to the club. We are the only boat here.
August 2 Saturday
Drizzled rain off and on all day. A pair of raccoons entertain us as they dig for clams and other seafood. They are there for over an hour and had quite a feast. We are still the only boat here. Shannon phones, they are going through the locks around Niagara Falls from Toronto and heading for Buffalo and Monday will be in Travis Michigan. (the boss's sister lives there)
