Tuesday, Wednesday 2nd, 3rd September.

Left Souris and Quinita this morning.  The drive home to Jay is about 13 hours, so we stopped at St. Andrews, New Brunswick to break the journey.  St. Andrews is a very pretty town, small enough to walk around in the evening, which we appreciated after spending 6 hours in the car.  On Wednesday we continued to Jay, arriving about 7pm EST after putting our clocks back 1 hour. 

Monday 1st September

She’s cleaned and polished on the outside (98% Teresa 2% Ron).  Teresa cleaned inside, Ron removing pulpit for some welding work, and the trampoline for some repairs at home.  The car is loaded with stuff we’re bringing home.  A little damp this morning, but warm and dry the afternoon, so we finished the day by putting on the boat cover.   Almost done …

Friday, Saturday, Sunday 29th, 30th, 31st August

Winds are up to 35 knots.  Thank goodness we didn’t have to try getting Quinita into the travellift in these winds.  Mostly sunny, although cold Friday, so we were able to carry on winterizing her.  

Always plenty of jobs at the beginning and end of the season …

Thursday 28th August – Haulout

Hauled out today, fortunately with light winds since we only just fit into the travellift.  By midday we were safely ashore and continuing with winterizing Quinita.    


We ate at the Sheltered Harbour (pub/restaurant), and both had a delicious seafood Alfredo, packed with Mussels, Scallops, Shrimp and Salmon.
