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.
