Chapel Island is an Indian reservation and at the end of
July, the local Mi’kmaq Indians have a gathering. We arrived too early for the gathering, but
dinghied to the island and walked around.
A few Mi’kmaq we already preparing their camp homes for the festivities
and were very chatty and friendly.
We set off for Clarke Cove, in company with Dragonfly, at
about midday, motored for a while with no wind, then hoisted sail when a breeze
appeared. Dragonfly (a 42’ trimaran)
soon left us in the dust, and we sailed slowly until the wind ran out. Motored for an hour or so, the hoisted sails
again when the wind returned. We arrived
at Clarke Cove and dropped the hook in a beautiful, well sheltered pond just
west of MacMillans Point, 45 42.76N 060 46.63W.
Brenda and Vin provided dinner on Dragonfly. Very nice.
Dennis on Blue Moon arrived at the anchorage just after we
did. He is part of the Blue Water
Sailing Club cruise and we met him at St. Peters a few days ago. He is planning to go to the Magdalen Islands
and PEI, and since we had some maps, pamphlets etc. on these areas, we dinghied
over to deliver them.
