CS34 NOTL Day 02

 We were up a little after 8am:


We had a reservation at Pellar Estates Winery for 5pm, as well as a wine tasting for 3:30pm.
The plan was to take the dingy to Smuggler's Cove Boat Club up the river and walk to Pellar Estates:


Would be about a 1km walk to the winery.

We decided to take a dingy ride up river to check out Smuggler's Cove Boat Club.



We confirmed that we could park our dingy at Smuggler's Cover and walk to the winery.

Just look at the current in the river:



Shadow enjoyed the ride:



How about a slide on your pontoon boat?


...and on back to NOTL Sailing Club:


Trip Start: 9:23am
Trip End: 10:48am
Trip Duration: 01:24
Trip Length: 4.5 miles
Average Speed: 3.2 knots
Max Speed: 10.9 knots





Then walked downtown for some retail therapy:


Lunch at a dog friendly outdoor cafe:



...and back to the boat, where Shadow and I passed out:



By 2pm, we had to think about going back up the river to make it to Peller Estates for a 3:30pm wine tasting.  The skies were looking NASTY.  The weather radar app on my phone show a major cell coming our way.  We decided to call a cab or UBER.  There aren't any cabs in NOTL.   UBER could not bring a cab from St Catherines until almost 3:30pm!

MAN DID IT RAIN


The UBER FINALLY came, and we could see the flooding walking to the gate:


It was about a 10 minute cab ride to Peller Estates winery.
We missed our wine tasting and went for dinner for 5:30pm



Wonderful fine dining!

We squeezed in a wine tasting afterward.

The UBER for the ride back came within 30 minutes.
