Good day to all, We are currently sitting in Beaufort North Carolina, Since we last wrote to you, we left Sandwich MA and have sailed all the way to Cape May. NJ, via New York, then down to Cape May NJ, up the Delaware and down the Chesapeake and to Beaufort via the ICW . When leaving Sandwich, the timing for passing through the canal must be properly timed since there are very strong currents pushing (or pulling) you through. Once you come to the end of the canal, into Buzzards Bay, you must ensure the weather is in your [View Full Entry]

New England coast of the United States, Hello to all, Since we last posted, we have travelled further along the eastern US seaboard stopping in a couple places along the way. We had to sit out some poor weather in Portland ME, where an overnight transiting dockage turned out to be a week at the dock. We stayed in a really nice marina called Spring Point and the dock master there, Ian, was a really nice guy. Most surrounding marinas in the area charge between $2.50-$3.25 per linear foot of vessel, but since it was off season, Ian only charged [View Full Entry]

Cutler & Southwest Harbour Maine, Cutler Maine, USA On the morning of Sept 26th 2009, we finally set sail from Brier Island, making route for Cutler Maine. It was a beautiful sunny day which made for a nice sail, with great winds and kind seas... We arrived in Cutler harbour at around 7pm and grabbed a mooring ball for the night. The town of Cutler is on the small side but well known for its Blueberries, Blueberries, Blueberries.... There’s a church, like any good American town, but that’s it!! No general stor [View Full Entry]

Brier Island NS Setting sail from Yarmouth NS in beautiful sunny weather, our intention was to set sail to Grand Manan Island NB via the Brier Island pass. Not even an hour out of Yarmouth we sailed into very heavy fog, lasting the duration of our sail and making the approach to Brier Island a very challenging one. Not to forget that in the passage of Brier Island, when not in slack tide, there are currents between 7 & 9 knots. With radar on and keeping a close watch, we slowly entered the passage and made way for the Town [View Full Entry]

Sneak peek of how are refit project is coming along....
Refit pic's!! We know we have been holding everyone off from viewing pictures of the boat until the refit was complete, but here are a few pics that might appease your curiosity. Sorry it’s taking so long for us to share these, but we are somewhat apprehensive of showing what is only partially complete because we don’t want anyone to form an opinion of this vessel based on incomplete pictures, She’s one fabulous boat and we are very proud of the work we have performed on her to date. Here are a few pictures of the galley, which we have completely [View Full Entry]

Yarmouth NS (Better knowen as Fogmouth!!) We departed Shelburne at midnight on September 17th to sail around the cape and up to Yarmouth. We sailed through the “Schooner Passage”, a shortcut which saves about 10-12 nautical miles but must say that it is NOT easy. We purposely timed our passage for a flood tide, as there is a little over 3 knots of current that bubbles around you and spins you through some rip tide. This is not the place to play around as there are many shoals and bends to wiggle through. Wouldn’t want to either loose the engine or [View Full Entry]

Shelburne NS We pushed hard when leaving Lunenburg in North East winds between 15-20 knots and head West along the coast. The sail was very rolly but we pushed on just the same. The sailing in these parts are not for the faint of heart, nor the un-experienced. Posted here is a picture of some unlucky soles boat high up on a rock reef. Not sure if he was “Shoal Fishing”, but just to show you that even experienced fishermen get in trouble here. No doubt the angry, painful ingrown toenail again (those who read our prior blog entry will understand [View Full Entry]

Lunenburg NS Lunenburg!!! YAY... After 2 days in Halifax we set sail to Lunenburg and entered the harbour with eyes wide opened and hearts racing with excitement. We had been dreaming of this moment even since years ago, while lounging in our living room watching the Tall Ship Chronicles. We knew that the Tall ship “Picton Castle” was docked there so we were full of piss and vinegar when we pulled into port. While motoring towards the city, we called a few places to see if they could provide a berth for a 60 foot sailboat and were shut down by [View Full Entry]

Halifax Nova Scotia Wednesday September 9th. It is 3:30PM and we just sailed into the Halifax harbour. It’s a little weird to be in a big city again. We have been living like trailer park gypsies for the past 3 months and find it a little overwhelming (and exciting) to be in the “Big Town” again. We entered Halifax without problem and docked at the ONLY marina that could accommodate the size of our vessel. When we arrived at the ROYAL Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, we did so in the “Captain Ron” way of doing things, blowing puffs of exhaust smoke [View Full Entry]

Sheet Harbour Light house,
Sheet Harbour Nova Scotia We set sail from Fisherman’s Cove this morning and arrived in Sheet Harbour at around 5:pm. The sail was nice and uneventful and we once again tied up to an available dock space at the local fish processing plant. We took a small walk into town and were followed home by a cute little black and white cat, who curled itself between our legs, craving whatever attention it could get. Annie took pity on the poor thing and gave it a small bowl of cream and a few slices of ham we had onboard. When came time [View Full Entry]
