Yep, we're still here waiting on a package of our "meds" from the States. My mistake in thinking that USPS "priority mail international" would arrive in Canada within a week. It now appears that it takes 10 days. Anyway, I'll give it until Monday and then it's "return to sender" and we're off. We know that the package left Toronto yesterday but we're coming into the weekend so Monday must be the day. Tomorrow we'll go back into Montreal and do some more touring.
It has been hot and humid here in Montreal. The last two days have produced some light rain and cloudy skies. We're using the time to make some needed repairs and study some of the navigation equipment we have aboard. So far, I've rewired the nav lights, tightened the backstay and rebedded some chainplates. I can keep busy but I'm anxious to get underway.
Observation: Since we left Lake Ontario, we've had no" Lake Flies". Even the ones on Lake Ontario were small and not biting. At the entrance to the St Lawrence Seaway flies changed to millions of tiny bugs that weren't bothersome but accumulated everywhere. In Montreal there are very few insects that we've observed. We've had no problem with mosquitoes, however, I've heard a few buzzing around.
