Fun morning with Concha and Fred! Concha picked up yummy fresh donuts, Fred showed me his two ways of cutting a pineapple, and then we ventured out to their “party barge,” the SS Concha. While I sat on the barge, sipping my morning coffee, Fred entered the water to launch the vessel. Only issue: the weather had changed to wind and wavy water. We tried floating a bit before deciding to return to dock. Instead, we savored our donuts, coffee, and pineapple on the dock. Sadly, it was time to leave Concha and Fred – until next time!

Addie, who told me she missed me (she was parked at a friend’s house across the lake), and I left Northern Michigan for Canada, planning on seeing Niagara Falls from both the Canadian and US sides tomorrow.

All went well until the border crossing. I thought I had everything in order – vaccination card, passport, entrance app completed, Covid test last Wednesday. The issue: my Covid test was 75.5 hours old rather than 72 hours. First officer sent me to a second officer who allowed me to enter. Phew!

Arrived at my Harvest Host, The Crump Family Farm (https://g.co/kgs/h246jC) for tonight – a lovely sustainable farm! Dinner – tasty salmon caught by Concha and veggies from Concha and Fred’s garden. 🙂

Addendum: What a terrific evening! After dinner, farm proprietor Chris Crump knocked on my door inviting me to a campfire. Chris and his wife Vivian recently joined Harvest Hosts and decided to have a campfire since for the first time there are three guest RVs here – two other Canadian couples and me. The seven of us sat around the fire for three hours chatting and exchanging stories. So nice!
