Sunrise departing Yarmouth at the "Bug Light"
across from the Yarmouth Bar, near Cape Fourchu |
August 02, 2017: A clear and calm morning, we departed for Shelburne Harbour at 0600hrs. Had a bit of a sleepy crew and they both were back asleep once we cleared the harbour. The first 6 hours was about the calmest run to Cape Sable I've ever done. Had the Mizzen Sail up to stabilize the boat from the slight swells on the beam. We rounded Cape Sable about an hour ahead of the plan, and made the turn for up the South Western Shore of Nova Scotia. Winds picked up after a few hours and we were able to enjoy a few hours of being under full sail into Shelburne. Once in Harbour we picked up a Shelburne Yacht Club mooring and went ashore for a walk around the shore front. Planning to stay put today and making plans to depart here for the white sand beaches of Carter's Beach, Port Mouton for Friday. Port Mouton being a beautiful secluded anchorage, great place to stay in fair weather.

after clearing Yarmouth. |
Probably no internet access until either Lunenburg Town or Mahone Bay.
Weather has been absolutely beautiful...
