The winds have been howling out of the north for two days, as forecast, and we’re staying put. Whitecaps are visible on ten-mile long Lake Couchiching, and since it is oriented north-south and we’re at the bottom, we’ll wait until tomorrow to let things settle down. It’s mildly rolly even at the dock and the temperature has fallen 20F, but all is well. And we're not in a big hurry, with only 50 miles left to go, and we definitely don’t want or need to push it.
We’re mostly relaxing here in Orillia, but did go to a matinee at the local cinema—so few of the towns up here are big enough to have a movie theater. We saw Despicable Me 4, a delightful escape from boat life and Kathleen’s first Minions film. There several restaurants and a large grocery store nearby, but we are trying to eat down our food stores before we stop cruising.
