Dragonfly had gone to Barra Strait marina, 45 57.36N 60 47.66W, yesterday for a
pumpout so we agreed to meet at a midway anchorage. Blues Cove, aka Orangedale, 45 54.03N 061 05.28W , was chosen since the
weather was forecast to be dreary again, and Orangedale has a railway museum
and general store.
Light headwinds to start so we
motored for the first hour, then the winds developed so we had a pleasant beat followed by a
tranquil run down to Blues Cove at the end of the harbor. Dragonfly was already docked on the town
wharf and radioed us to let us know there was a spot for us on the wharf. A sloop with tan sails arrived after
Dragonfly and before us, but heard our radio conversation so anchored rather
than use up the remaining spot on the wharf.
Very nice of them!
Someone on the dock told Brenda
that the general store had washers and dryers, so she packed up her laundry and
took it to the store. It turned out that
her informant meant they had washing machines and dryers for sale! So no laundry for
Brenda.
We walked into town to discover
the museum was not open until Wednesday.
