Back Again

Once again I find myself back on the Anarchy after spending a good week in Ontario. So far so good, it doesn't seem like any creatures have made their homes in here while we were away. That's always a good thing. After being in -20 degree weather for a week, it makes the heat here so much worse. Well, I'll endure it once again, what choice do I have?

Toronto

I have always been harsh with my view of Toronto. I've always believed it to be arrogant, and a blemish on the land. That said, I'm very happy to be here tonight. After spending the last 24 hours moving, I'm happy to be in a nice hotel room with  a good bed.

Wow

One last story before we head out.

We are having some welding done on the boat, and today the lead welder did the most badass thing I've ever seen. When he went on his break, he went down to his boat and grabbed a spear from it. I'm not kidding, he actually had a real spear with him for stabbing. With this spear in hand, he stripped down to his boxers and dived into the river hunt fish.

What a badass.

Journey to the North

In two days I'll be leaving for Canada. My first time their since July of last year. Don't get too excited however. I'm not traveling to Alberta (I wish I was), but will instead be go to Iroquois Falls, Ontario (see June of last year for a refresher).

Sadly, my grandma on my mom's side is at her final days, and it is important for us to be there.

Singing Dog

As the workers continued working on the fly bridge renovations, and interesting phenomenon occurred. As the workers were drilling, Sonic started howling in unison with them. It was the oddest thing because he was howling with the same tone as the power drill for no reason whatsoever. Dogs, crazy little aren't they?

Turtle

I recently discovered that there is a turtle living around the yacht. It's not one of those giant sized turtles, but more like the size of a dinner plate. There it was swimming gracefully on the surface of the water, and then it dived down to the riverbed and went to sleep. I haven't seen it since then, but I'm sure I will someday.

Ferry?

This morning a large American ferry sailed down the river and went to the lake. I'm talking like the boats they use in B.C. to get people from Vancouver Island to the mainland.

How odd is that?

And this was an actual American boat flying a huge American flag. I wonder what they could possibly be doing here?
