Back in Lunenburg starting for Home Port

Sadly,  now starting to make way back towards home. Still have a couple weeks to gunkhole around.  The last few days were a lot of fun. Jen, Nick & the Grand kids (Chloe, Asher & Rylen (aka Sea Legs) came for the day on Thursday. We motored from Chester (The Rope Loft) out to Round Island for an afternoon of swimming and laying around on the beach. It was so nice to see them, time went too quick and we head back into Chester to have supper at the Rope Loft and berth over night on their docks.



Poor Duck, completely worse for the wear
after Rylen played him out while aboard.



Friday heading from Chester to South Shore Marine for water & Fuel.  Passed by many beautiful anchorages, love to just stay put and sail these parts for another month... After fueling, started back for Lunenburg to do laundry & re-provision the boat for the trip back. Upon entering Lunenburg Bay, a severe thunderstorm blew down onto us, from 5 knots to 35 in seconds with heavy rains. Good rinse off for the boat. The lightning was too close for me though. Motored sailed into Lunenburg Harbour and within an hour or so, the weather was not too bad.

Sunny today, hoping to catch Bruce Guthro & Dylan Guthro for a short outdoor concert on the wharf.

Hoping to head to Shelburne on Monday, about a 77NM trip. Winds are currently calling for NW 10-15 which would be perfect for sailing that direction.

Fair Winds,

Dave & Wharfy

"For boats, even the uglier ones, are among the loveliest creations of man's hands and though owning them brings a train of debts, hangnails, bruises, bad frights, and all kinds of worries not experienced by those who content themselves with more practical vices, the relation between a man and his boat is as personal and intimate as the relation between husband and wife."  Desmond Holdridge
