August 14, 2013 Port Severn (Starport Marina)

We mostly hung around the boat today enjoy the rocking motion caused by the beam on wind pining us to the dock.  Rather cool here too.  More like Fall actually.

We did take the courtesy  car, (in this case, truck) for a shopping trip to some exotic Canadian shops like Walmart, Dollar Tree, Home Depot, Giant Tiger and Canadian Tire.  A few you might recognize.  Some though like Giant Tiger and Canadian Tire might not ring a bell.




Giant Tiger is a discount outlet for clothing and other stuff.  I bought  a pair of shorts for $5.  Turns out the "medium" is really extra large so I cant wear them without a belt and super glue.

Canadian Tire is a better version of Fleet Farm.  Its got everything.  Including tires.

Home depot didn't have my filter wrench or a 1" brass check valve.  But they have everything else you'd find in a Home Depot.

Dollar Tree lured me in only to harshly disappoint when I discovered it's really a buck-and-quarter store.

Walmart  ... well what can I say.  Its  a Walmart but the MacDonalds located inside charge a shocking $1.50  for an ice cream cone.  My Canadian stash of cash is dwindling at an alarming rate.

We ate at the Principals Schoolhouse.  Fish and Chips.  It was in the basement of an old school house.  A family run affair.  No beer, but the food was pretty good.

Weather Friday will be better so we're leaving and doing an overnight to Mackinac if things all work out.
