Back in Liverpool at the Brooklyn Marina



Wharfy not really sure if he should jump yet...

So the return happens... From Lunenburg this morning we departed at 1000hrs for Liverpool, NS.  The forecast looked good calling for winds from the SW 10-15 knots,  When we actually motored out into Lunenburg bay, we thought we would be lucky to see 10 knots.  About two hours after that winds came up steady and held at 20 gusting to 25 for the rest of the trip.  Only issue was that it was in our teeth (or on the nose).  We tacked off shore for about 5 miles then tacked back up the coast as close to windward as the boat would allow.  This was good for the most part til we decided for the sake of time we'd motor sail with the mizzen set.  We were able to make about 5 knots into the wind.. Wharfy kind of laid low for the most part between the 25 degree heel and the lumpy seas.



Brooklyn Marina was great, sheltered and a place to tie up and get a real shower for a change.  We will stay the night here then move off to anchor behind Port Mouton along the white sand beaches, if winds are favourable for soing so, otherwise we head to Shelburne where we can reprovision and get some laundry done. 

All else is good.  Happy Birthday Jen! 

Cheers,

Dave & Wharfy

so full of life, so noiseless when it labors hardest, so noisy and
impatient when least effective." -Henry David Thoreau
