Forecast was for light winds today, with SW 15 tomorrow
which would not be good for a passage to Halifax. So we set off towards Jeddore, 44 46.21N 63 01.05W, found ourselves making
good time and decided to press on to Halifax, .
We motor sailed all day, (10 hours on engine – yuk), but made good time
and reached Halifax, 44 38.14N 063 36.75W, a day earlier than
expected. And on the way Quinita passed
the 5000 nm mark.
We had reserved a slip at Armdale Yacht Club which is at the
end of the west arm of Halifax harbor.
It’s a beautiful sail up here, with many very nice and presumably
expensive houses. We arrived at the gas
dock at 6:30pm, filled our gas tanks and were assigned a slip for the
evening. A small champagne toast later
we were eating dinner aboard and planning our excursions to Halifax
tomorrow.
