Our Recent Up-grade…
We decided to go and check up on our friends from North Bay who rented a Beach House in Salvo. We pulled up in our trailer beside the massive wood shingled house and headed up the 3 flights of stairs to knock on the door. They invited us in and Bill sailed with them all afternoon.

We explore new little quaint towns…stop for lunch and little cafes along the way and take our time knowing the guys are back windsurfing and happy. Each day is ended with “that was fun…what a great day!”
