Note we are now with the English spelling of Harbor!
So we set off North at 1 pm up through the southern Lake and up into the Northern lake by way of Bara Strait a narrow area with a bridge that separates the two. Fortunately we did not have to hail for an opening and sailed on through. Turns out this lake has very little tide about 8 to 9 inches normally.
On the way just past the bridge we saw a lovely white church standing up on the top of a steep hill at a place called Iona ( good Scottish name.) This area is devoted to the early settlers and their life.
Shortly afterwards we turned left into the anchoring spot.Thebuoys here are so small it was hard to find them.Ncessary as there were some rocks on left side .Also the lighthouse was hidden among trees, but Grame's sharp eyes and the binoculars soon sorted out that problem. Also the answer is to just slow down and it all comes into view .
There were very few boats in there so we had our pick and lowered our new anchor.The bottom is mud and some weed so no problem and 23 ft deep. Just Idyllic ! The wind dropped and we had peace and calm.
Decided to dingy around a bit , and we went to meet up with the other powerboat anchored ahead of us. Friendly local people who have put their own mooring ball in this harbor. We had dinner on board Flank Steak salad and then pulled out one of the movies to watch once the sun had gone down.
Called Breach , a true story about one of the greatest security breaches in U.S. History. Robert Hanssen was finally caught and convicted.
