We always enjoy the annual Sarnia/Port Huron Powerboat Races and for the last few years we've been paying the modest sum of $5 to watch the races from the best vantage point possible on the Duc D'Orleans Tour Boat tied up along the Sarnia waterfront.
The Duc is situated right at the hairpin turn and close to the best action in the race. What a deal!
The people who own this boat looked at buying our condo so we recognized them.
Looks like John doesn't recognize me. Ha ha!.
That doesn't matter because his lovely wife Becky (right) did. Lol!
Our good old friend George from the condos went with us.
George moved to the condos about four years after us so we've been good friends for a long time. Next April would be 20 years since Wendy and I bought there.
Having a shaded spot was great and a nice breeze off the river made it perfect. Drinks and a washroom on board... priceless!
This is Stuart. He is a realtor from Tampa. I got gabbing with him and he said he wanted to buy a place here in Sarnia since he is from here and has relatives living in Sarnia. He actually came over to see our condo the next day and made a verbal offer to buy it - cash. Said he could put it on his Black VIP American Express Card. Wow! We explained that we already had a conditional offer but would entertain his offer if things unraveled. Pays to gab I guess. This kind of stuff keeps things interesting. Ha ha!
