Trying to tan during a solar eclipse

2:30 pm Colchester Beach Solar Eclipse day

Leg workout :)

Waves were great for both kayaking and pedal boating

Looking like it's 7 pm at 2 in the afternoon

Fantastic day @ Colchester Beach on Solar Eclipse Day

Had to move the boats more than another 10 feet in. They were getting set to float away today.

Then Mother Nature decided Summer Wave needed a day off.

The weather has been almost perfect for 7 days straight.

The Beach is where it's at this weekend..... Get Your Red and White ON – Essex to Celebrate Canada 150 – Ontario 150 – Colchester 225! The event takes place at Colchester Park on the Saturday of Explore the Shore (July 29 and 30) and begins at 11:00 a.m. with children’s activities and an all-day beach volleyball tournament organized by Velocity Volleyball. History buffs will want to attend the opening ceremony and heritage event at noon. A large interpretive plaque will be unveiled at the Peace Garden and pavilion , followed by a special storytelling by Seamus (formerly Shaymus) Gunn. Join the historical re-enactor at 2:00 p.m. for a walking tour of Colchester and learn more about the “New Settlement” and its early residents. The day is full of entertainment. Local children’s entertainer Beebo takes the main stage at 1:00 p.m., followed by Kingsport Environmental with an impressive display of falcons, hawks and other birds of prey. Fairytale fun with Enchanted Princesses rounds out the afternoon, which wouldn’t be complete without a village full of bouncy castles. Kingsville’s Jen Knight leads the evening lineup of musicians at 5:30. She’ll be performing with acoustic rocker Charlie Lambrick. LaSalle’s guitar prodigy Christian Vegh, winner of the American Federation of Musicians 2016 Charles McDaniel Youth Award, takes the stage at 6:45 p.m., followed by Mudmen, the Celtic rock warriors of southwestern Ontario, at 8:30 p.m. Don’t miss the fireworks! We’ll be lighting up the lake starting at 9:45 p.m.
