July 26
A full day of sailing today  winds were from the southeast which made a great day to move north, made Little current to wait out a front then on in to the north channel. No decision as to were yet by who knows. The winds are predicted to be south again after the storm passes so another opportunity to move west under sail. I will pick a place and spend a day or two there. Plan to be back in little current by next wed for yet another front. Then start heading home.

Will up date this on wed.

Day four July 23 2013

Made it to Wrights Marina yesterday to spend a day or so waiting out the high winds and storm headed our way.
Sailed most of the way from Snug Harbour to Wrights, had the Genaker up most of the way on almost a straight downwind run. Boat Speed was around 3-5 knots wind speed was from 5-10 knots less at times but managed to keep the kite in the air lol

The wind speed today at the marina topped 26 knots so the decision to stay an extra night was a good one.
Could not even get out on the dingy to do the rapids up the river.. very disappointing.
Tomorrow re-provision....ice, bread and something for this cold and then off to the Bustards or Thomas Cove for a couple of days of exploring and relaxing and maybe some fishing.

today's route...as I said not quite what was expected

Well I had a rather interesting day, got up early to take advantage of the forecast west wind and found 15-20 knots from the NNW. So ended up circumnavigating  the tomb and heading north in the small craft channel, motored all day an ended up at Big Sound Marina. It was not quite the day that I expected or the destination :(  well tomorrow is another day ... lets see what the weather brings.. I may just hang on the beach at Killcoursy till I get a weather window to cross to Windfield Basin.... Dinner time :)

Tonight wine and chicken lol

Well first stop as always Methodist bay for the night.   Will see what winds offer in the morning. Storm has passed and the cold front and it's high are moving in, this may be a bumpy night.

 Anchour is in and well hooked in 10' of water. Winds are S 5-10 knots with a slight roll. It may be a comfortable night after all  :)  Environment Canada ended the squall watch just now  cool
Time for a glass of wine and a burger

Well its that time of the year again. Provisioning has started for the trip up north. Watching the weather and winds for this weekend to determine which direction to head off on first. looking forward to Sunday, it may be across the bay to Lions head...forecast is for NE winds. Lions Head is one of my new fav spots on the bay. It has a good harbour and some really interesting things to do. Including a shipwreck in the same bay as the harbour and watching the Turkey Vultures soar along the escarpment.... and there is always watching the humans climb the rock face  :)...........Let you know what happens at the next wifi connection
