We were woken by a tug of length 60’ docking right next to us in a spot 60’ 1” long. He was pretty skillful, but we moved Quinita back a foot or so to give him some room. Ron went for a swim and retrieved the power cord adapter.
The winds were forecast to be 20-25 knots in the afternoon,
so we set off early for havre Aubert, 47 13.85N 061 49.76W, before the really
strong winds set in and had a very nice brisk and short sail. We called for a berth at the marina, left a
message, but never had a reply. So we
anchored just outside the harbor.
Commercial harbours are very dirty, dusty places, and after
a couple of days at Cap aux Meules, Quinita was filthy. She was covered with dust, sand and grit, and
her topsides were covered with black tyre marks. So we spent a couple of hours cleaning her
up. 
We had lunch and contemplated taking the dinghy to
town. However the winds we now blowing
strongly and we doubted whether we would be able to get back to Quinita without
getting soaked. So we stayed put on the
boat for the afternoon and watched the kite surfers in the harbour.
