Ep78.  In this episode of Cruising Off Duty we take you biking through Waupoos (Wine Country) and we go to the County Cider Company to do some Cider Tastings.  We take the Mavic Pro drone up to get some aerial shots of the beauty of the area, when someone from the Marina came to tell us that the wind had picked up and our boat was dragging out into Lake Ontario.

By the time we make it back to the docks of the Marina, our boat is so far out there we can barely see it.  Luckily some local sailors saw our boat getting dragged away and went after it in a Zodiac and were able to save it.

This whole sailing area seems to have dense weeds and after nearly losing our boat, we discuss how we need to get a better anchor for weeds and how we really need to ditch the electric trolling motor we have been using to push our dinghy around, and get a real gas outboard.  Even if we had been on shore and watched our boat dragging away, we couldn't have saved it with only an electric trolling motor.

A lot goes on in this episode and we learn some valuable lessons.  Luckily we learned them without any harm being done or losing our boat, so, that is the good news.
