We left Gaspe and bid “Tot Ziens” to Dennis and Ank. They are a really nice couple and we will
miss them. But we will meet again!
We had thick fog shortly after we set off and we were
motoring in very light winds. After an
hour, the wind picked up and Ron hoisted the sails, turned off the engines and
ran over a lobster, (or something), line which wrapped around one of our
props. It took a while to disentangle
ourselves and we ended up cutting and retying the line so the fishermen
wouldn’t lose their pot. We continued
sailing and had a tough beat against the tide to Anse a Beaufils, 48 28.32N 064 18.45W. (Beating, means zigzagging against the
wind. We sailed 50.2 nm to cover a
distance over the ground of 31.2nm). But
at least we were sailing!
Tied up against the wall amongst a motley collection of
pleasure boats, fishing boats and tour boats.
Ship’s Log: 3268.1nm, Today's log: 50.2nm, Season total: 814.2nm.
