We had light winds and flat seas so motoring all day wasn’t
too bad. At least we weren’t pounding
into waves like the past few days. The
log impellor was fouled as a result of our grounding yesterday so we had no
boat speed instrument. In addition, the
Chartplotter wasn’t talking to the autohelm, so we had to manually steer all
day using the compass – just like the good old days!
We arrived at Escuminac, 47 04.80N 064 53.16W, another fishing
harbor and tied up against the wall. It
seems to be first come, first served for the floating docks, and we were about
the last boat in! Once again, the people
here were very friendly and we had another offer of a car to take us into town
about 5 miles away.
We also saw a Canadian family we met in Tadoussac – LeeAnne,
Brad and, (soon to be 9 years old), Abbey.
They’ve sold their home and are cruising long term, while home schooling
Abbey. It seems we’ve visited almost
exactly the same harbours since we both left Tadoussac but this was the first
time we’ve been in one at the same time.
We bought fresh lobster and frozen shrimp from a small fish shop
on the dock and dined very well on the lobster.
The frozen shrimp will last a day two…
No update to the Ships log today since it was fouled all
day, but we sailed about 40 nm.
Ship’s Log: 3348.8nm, Today's log: 0.0nm, Season total: 894.9nm.
