Wednesday 29th July






We had planned to start out at 7am and prepare the boat for sea on the way out of the river which would take about an hour, but it was pretty foggy, so we decided to delay our start.  By 8am the fog was lifting, the boat was prepared and breakfast and lunches were also ready, so we set off.  We had a pleasant, scenic and windless trip down the river and headed out towards Beaver Harbour. 

Once at sea we found light headwinds, so the engine stayed on all day.  We took the inshore route (a passage between the mainland and several small islands), which was both scenic and had flat seas.  After the inshore passage, seas were a little bigger but not too uncomfortable. 
It was cloudy most of the day but in the afternoon, the sky turned blue and the sun shone for an hour.  (We hadn’t seen that for a while!). 

We were making good time, so decided to press on to Mushaboom, 44 50.61N 062 32.05W.  This turned out to be another picturesque anchorage.  We took a swim and sun shower, then it started raining, the sun came out again, and we were presented with the most spectacular double rainbow.
