Tuesday 21st July

The Blue Water Sailing Club cruise, of which we were guest participants, had arranged a dinner at the Cape Breton Smokehouse at Little Harbour (Malagawatch), 45 51.13N 060 58.46W this evening.  So we headed that way and had a very nice sail to Little Harbour.  Little Harbour is an excellent anchorage;  it has a very narrow entrance and is virtually a small lake with protection from every wind direction. 

A few days ago we had been invited to a BBQ hosted by the club.  We, (Teresa, Ron, Barbara and Mike) thought that we’d like to offer a small thank you to the club, so we invited all the cruise participants aboard Quinita for a pre-dinner champagne reception and we ended up with 16 people in the cockpit of a 32’ sailboat.  A good time was had by all, we didn’t sink, and at 6:30pm we adjourned to the restaurant by dinghy. 

The restaurant was a beautiful log building overlooking an equally beautiful seascape.  The food was excellent, but they were a little overwhelmed by having 16 of us arrive at once! 

After dinner, everyone took their dinghies back to their respective boats.  It was a very dark night, and Toy and Jack had the toughest trip since they were engineless and rowing against a decent wind back to their boat which was the furthest away.
