Choppy seas greeted us at the entrance of the Harbour , so what's new!!!
First hour was not great but then we turned north and had almost following sea and soon we were surfing along.
The magnificent Chic Choc ( the Mi ' kmaq Indian name for the Appalachian Chain) continued on our left as we moved along.Initially mist hung down just above the little towns dotted along the coast but as we moved further north it cleared. Each one of the towns had a church usually white in color and most had a fishing port protected by a large stone breakwater. We saw a couple of cargo ships in the distance and a few gannets flying about , that was about it .the sun came out and the waves dropped to almost nothing as we entered the harbor of Saint Anne des Monts.
Tied up and when we checked the power outlets , they wouldn't work even with the 30 amp splitter .Yet again! Oh well we have the generator if needed.
About half and hour later another cruise boat a 55 ft Fleming style boat docked in behind us.Turned out it was from Annapolis but the owner lived in Virginia! Had a long chat with the couple plus the other couple traveling with them and in the end we all went out to dinner together at the local seafood restaurant.It was a fun evening. Apart from Lynn and John , Peggy and John were the only other couple we have met on this journey so far.They were going in the reverse direction to us so we were all able to give each other some tips.
Over and Out,
S and S
