Back in Shelburne, NS



Anchored just off Carter Island,
Port Mouton, NS

Yesterday was spent motor sailing from our anchorage in Port Mouton back to the Shelburne Harbour Marina. Winds were forecasted to be SW, but stayed steady 10-15kts from the NE, which was great for motor sailing at about 7 knots with the wind right from the stern.  At the marina, my brother Chris showed up for supper aboard, and watch the sailboat races. Chris was on a business trip to Yarmouth so returning to Halifax area was on the way for him.  We had Curried Meat Balls & Rice with a Blueberry Grunt for dessert.  Nice to see family when out.  Staying put today and going to make the run to Yarmouth tomorrow. In Yarmouth the Sailboats Zoom & Kauwela O'hana will be waiting on moorings for the rest of the return trip to St. Andrews, NB.

I've figured so far made about 428NM and if time were not an issue, it would be "keep on going".  Other than missing family, settling into the routine aboard is pretty easy. This trip we've explored a number of new places and just spent time anchored in quiet coves, meeting new people and attending a few festivals. Love the coast of Nova Scotia. People everywhere very friendly and helpful.
