Over 5 miles on board the Windrider from the marina to Gray Point and back, in a variable but decent breeze. This sailing adventure part of our new policy of no chores after noon.

In rigging the boat we discovered that the water, at least on days when the wind is blowing in, is swimmable.

With the big weekend coming, Serendipity Lane is filling in.

Very dry on Manitoulin, but everything still green, including the herb garden (although to be honest, it gets watered). Front row, left to right, cilantro, rosemary, and basil. Farther back, the world's largest crop of oregano, along with thyme, sage, summer savory, chives, and garlic.
