We had planned on sailing home on Canada Day but woke to howling winds. The rest of the fleet set off to race and we stayed in our slip, watched the wind indicator, watched the weather forecast and planned how to spend our day. We caught the marina shuttle and went out to breakfast (Sambos) and then I walked back down to the marina.

| Entrance to the last lock on the Welland Canal |
Port Colborne is a great place to boat watch as there is a lot of commercial and leisure boat traffic on the way between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
 |
2 wooden tall ships came through the locks and were picking up more young trainees
before heading up Lake Erie, Detroit River and on to Goderich on Lake Huron. |

| This huge motor yacht was waiting to get into the locks. |

| Two huge kites being flown over the park by the marina. |
It was Canada Day after all and the park next to the marina had kites, rides, bouncy castles and later that night fireworks. We tried to wait up for them but didn't make it to the required 10pm. We heard them from our berths. Getting old!!
