We awoke at 6:25 to find Dragonfly gone! Oh well.
We set off at 7pm in fog, headed for a hopefully pretty trip through
Westport, 44 16.00N 66 20.40W, but it was still very
foggy and we saw almost nothing of this passage. After heading across the Bay of (No)Fundy,
the fog cleared until we got to the shipping lanes, when it returned in
earnest. Eventually it cleared when we
were about 8 miles from Grand Manan, 44 45.74N 066 44.88W. I guess that’s par for the course in these
parts. The good news is that we had
strong (15-20 knt) southerly wind the whole day which made for a fast passage
across most of the bay. We ended up with
light winds and foul tides so had to resort to the motors.
Brenda and Vin had arrived several hours before us and were
on the dock to take our lines, which was appreciated since it was then blowing
hard (18 knts) again when we arrived. We
tied up, and invited Brenda and Vin to bring their dinner to Quinita. (That’s sometime how it is when cruising on
small boats!). Had an enjoyable
evening. Looking forward to exploring
Grand Manan tomorrow.
