Camp Whitehorne: The Aqua Addition

The boys on White Lillie

So I met the Whitehorne's in the Bahamas as you may recall. The reason they where there was because they sailed there on their flagship vessel the 'White Lillie'. So for those playing at home you might realize we have this whole attempt to sail thing in common and as their attempts of sailing usually ends in actual results. They keep their yacht close to them at a place near Ottawa just of the St Lawrence River which in turn gives them access to the ICW. Jim spend the last few months getting their yacht ready to be put back into the water after wintering on land. So the day finally arrived that their flagship got put back into the water. To celebrate this event we were invited along with the rest of their family to a pre Canada Day BBQ and Firework celebration put on by the marina.

or shoes, or the weather, and everyone's health

It was a really fun afternoon starting with drinks at the yacht. Where we played a game of  'Catch the Chair' as the wind kept blowing them into the water. After a good session of social lubrication we moved our celebration to the, well calling it a club house is a stretch of the word. However it was where the food was and if you know me if there is free food I'm there. After stuffing our faces with some really yummy burgers and Carole's sisters yummy salad we settled down for some more social lubricating.  Once the sun finally set and the mosquitoes came out to feed on us it was time for the highlight of the night the Fireworks. The Fireworks must have been about 15 meters away from us and it was freaking amazing especially when the big ones exploded and you could feel the sound wave and hear it travelling over the country side. I'm usually disappointed in fireworks but this was a pretty amazing and I was only disappointed when it ended. However all good things must come to an end and with the Fireworks ending we had to head home as the next day was Canada Day and Kim had work in the morning. But it was fun at the Aqua Addition of Camp Whitehorne and I can't wait to go sailing this summer on 'White Lillie'.

I'm working on getting a video uploaded of the Fireworks but my internet is to bloody slow. So will post it separately on my Facebook Page. So keep an eye out for it but until then see ya later.
