Back In Yarmouth Harbour

It's always a indication that summer is drawing to a close and having to think about going back to work, well, don't want to go there yet...

Made two good days from Lunenburg last Sunday making Shelburne on Sunday evening, then Yarmouth on Monday evening about 2200hrs.  Two beautiful days made it easy to make some miles. Prior to rounding Cape Sable, spotted 2 very large sea turtles, first time for me. Tried to circle around and get a picture of this creature.  He dove after getting about 20 feet from him. Happened to get a picture of just his shell.

The plan is to stay put here for a week before heading back across the bay via Brier Island and either Grand Manan or Campobello.  Weather certainly has been nice so far with a the exception of a few days of needed rain.

Yesterday spent the day with my Uncle Dougie & Aunt Sheri and Cousin Bryce. Nice to spend a day ashore and with family. Dougie & Sheri always make one feel very welcome in Yarmouth! Yarmouth always holds a special place in my heart as the place where the family is from.  Hoping to take the cat back to the wharf where he came from... just to remind him how good he has it aboard the boat...  but really to visit Bobby & Marilyn.

Dougie & Sheri gave the use of one of their cars for the next couple days to run errands and do a bit of visiting. Hoping to get down to the cape and look around for a bit.

The next few days a music festival starts at the marina where we are.  Folk (Irish, Acadienne, etc.) Two big tents with entertainment all weekend.

More Later,

Dave & Wharfy
