Time was marching on and I only had a couple days left in Ontario, being trapped inside thanks to the rain was taking its toll and making me a bit anxious to get out and explore the area. In the end, the weather was quite disappointing this year and prevented me from getting out exploring the countryside for photo opportunities most days. So the images from today were the result of a bit of desperation on my part – I just had to get the camera in my hands and shoot something! Perhaps if I return next year things will be better.
All I was able to photograph today were a few shots of the harbour from our balcony. The setting was very nice, one could watch the boats moving throughout the day and when the fishing boats returned – usually one at a time – we could watch them unload their catch. The boat closest to our suite were a fun group to watch – they often were on their way out of the harbour by 4:15AM each morning and often the last back around 3 to 4PM. Though their departure at so early an hour woke me each morning, I felt a connection with them and was always glad to see them return with a good size catch. The last day we were there they returned with a huge catch and filled 6 of those green containers full of fish.
The setting of the Inn right on the water was very pleasant and offered hours of entertainment as we watched the activity in the harbour. The high winds and waves added to the interest – one day they were splashing far above the breakwater at the harbour entrance. I look forward to returning and exploring more of the area under better weather conditions.
