We have met several good friends here – Louis & Hélène, Pierre
& Émilie, Tom & Clarissa, Terry & Jeannine and of course Eric and
today we’re setting off, so it’s a little bittersweet. The sweet part is that we had a 12knt beam reach
all the way to Mabou, 46 04.32N 61 24.49W. In fact it was a little too perfect. Mabou has a shallow entrance and fast
outgoing current, so we really didn’t want to arrive until 4:30pm, when the
tide was rising at its maximum rate (thus minimizing the outgoing
current). So we ended up reducing sail,
simply to slow the boat down! And Ron had
time to re-splice the remaining 3 dock lines while underway. 
We made the harbor entrance just on time, entered without
problem and anchored at the end of the harbor close to the town of Mabou. The setting was beautiful and we had a very
quiet and peaceful first night at anchor.
We even found a WIFI hotspot via our Bullet. Not bad having WIFI while at anchor!
