Well another early start even though the winds weren't predicted to be strong today.Our friends behind us on Irish Eys left at 6.30 am heading south and so we got into action and left a hour later.
The water was amazingly flat and calm and the winds light.
We had a dream run of five hours up the coast.This was our best day ever since we left the Chesapeake Bay for sailing, even the currents were favorable! It makes such a difference when the sea is calm , creates calm passengers on board! I got out my binoculars and checked out the towns on the way down , and there were many of them , just the same there was yesterday.At Cap Chat we passed 133 wind turbines operating ,and they claim to have one of the world's tallest 110 meters vertical axis windmills.
It was wonderful not to have had to fuel up so frequently for the last three stops but we did fuel up here as we had just over a quarter tank left. Nick the dock master was extremely helpful and friendly as were all the passers by. Again all wanting us to answer lots of questions about our boat and ourselves. Docked up ,the power worked perfectly here. After checking in ,we borrowed the Marina bikes and headed off down the bike trails to a park along the waterfront.Great to get off the boat and have some exercise. Graeme had enough after about an hour ,but I kept going it was so pleasant.
Back to the boat for an early dinner on board and a rest .We await the weather for tomorrow which will decide if we can do our anchoring out spot we are keen to try, tomorrow night.
Over and Out,
S and S.
