| McNabbs Island Light and abandoned houses off Shelburne, NS |
Landed in Lunenburg last evening after a long day of a 2 meter swells and no wind. Spent most of the trip so far motoring.
Since the last posting in Yarmouth we've had one interesting day at sea rounding Cape Sable, and one other day of running diesels all day long with very little sailing. Cape Sable turned out to be pretty rough. We knew it would be a bit bumpy. Gryphon and Moon Dancer II went through fine, some of the crew felt a little green in the gills. We departed Yarmouth at 0330hrs and traveled 75NM to landed early evening in Shelburne. They must have been expecting us, fireworks and the burning of a prop pirate ship after getting moored and anchored. Well, I guess we showed up for Pirate Days.
The next morning we departed Shelburne for Lunenburg. A 77NM day. Not much wind, motored most of the way, trip turned into a delivery run because of the layover in Yarmouth. Calm night at anchor in Lunenburg last evening.
Gryphon headed alone for South Shore Marine in Chester at 0930hrs this morning. By 1030hrs, Chris calls me on the radio with what appears to be a broken engine mount. I haul anchor and head out to Lunenburg Bay to assist and tow him toward Chester, as Queen Ann's Revenge heads from Chester to take over the tow into South Shore Marine. I turn about and head back to Lunenburg alone. Light (but there was some) winds let me spend the afternoon until 1500hrs sailing back to the anchorage in Lunenburg Harbour. Very peaceful sail, Wharfy even came out and sat in the cockpit for most the trip back.
More Later,
Dave & Wharfy.
