Cobourg Marina

Once again our plans to get to the Presquill Point were scraped by the unfavorable winds. After we tuned into the weather channel (thank you Matthew!) we found out that Environment Canada issued small craft warning due to expected severe winds and thunderstorms on Lake Ontario. We couldn't see any winds never mind the severe ones, never the less obediently we make our way to the closest port. We were still sick from last night and we didn't mind setting our feet on something that doesn't move all the time.

When we tied in marina lake went berserk. We were so glad to be somewhere sheltered. Cobourg Marina was very clean and in excellent condition. Best marina we've seen yet. Being so close to town we eagerly moved around on marina's bikes, enjoying the friendly town and trying to forget the night before.

We end up in the coffee shop called Human Bean, writing up for this website, reading up some magazines and enjoying young band called "agnostics". We personally are far away from being agnostics but we enjoyed having other people around listening to some live music. (M)
