Episode 25 - Day #6 - Return to Ivy Lea

Camelot was another great island - bigger and more to explore, with paths less well-marked (which made it more fun for Chloe than me, honestly!) While walking around we saw that friends of ours from the marina were staying at a mooring ball on the south side of the island. That looks like fun - but with Chloe, we'd definitely need to bring our tender to get her to shore to have her potty breaks. Around noon, we thought it was time to leave. The weather was perfect and it was tough to say goodbye, but rain and wind was expected the next day, and I really didn't want to dock at the marina in those conditions. So, off we went. A straight shot up the Canadian Middle Channel, then north to The Landing at Ivy Lea. Easy run, maybe 30-40 minutes. We talked a lot about the trip - what went well, and what needed improvement - but we agreed that with each day, we got better and better at docking, communicating, and handling the boat. That's a big deal. Overcoming challenges together is one of the reasons we bought Aqualibrium in the first place! I think a "Cruise in Review" video is in order to really outline the highs and lows of the trip, and things we'll do differently next year, because there will be a 2022 cruise! And so, back at the marina, where we woke up to a cold, rainy, and windy morning....it always pays to look at the weather forecasts, because we came back at the right time. What an awesome cruise!
