The town looked attractive, but the winds were still
howling, making a trip ashore in the dinghy untenable. So we weighed anchor and docked at the marina,
47 14.14N 061 50.05W. Here we found luxury at last – no floating
dock, but a pretty easy step ashore from Quinita, showers, laundry, a bar
etc. A nice clean dock, and cheaper than
the commercial dock at Cap aux Meules! 
We cycled around the southern peninsula and had a very easy
ride out with 20knots tailwinds. The
ride back was not so easy, particularly when we hit Chemin des Montagnes, with
a headwind. Fortunately, the “Montagnes”
here are nothing like those in Vermont.
We first met Pierre and Brigitte on “Sardine” in Ramea. And we met them again here. Small world.
We had a drink with them in the bar and swapped a few stories about our
respective Newfoundland adventures.
Teresa and I went to a local restaurant for dinner to try a
local speciality, Pot-en-Pot – a kind of fish pie wrapped in pastry. Very nice.
