Aug 26 and 27 on to Chandler, Quebec

We woke to calm seas
a few clouds and wind was to be light, so we decided to leave at 9am
well this was the trip ... no pictures taken today  .... we had to go about 2.5  miles out to sea to pass the Cap d Espoir and its 8 ft of water depth ... we where sure when we headed south again that the wind and waves would settle ... they didn't, they got even worst ... and of course right on the nose ... our 20 miles was the worst we have had all this trip ... Today was the day we should of not sailed in the direction we where going
we arrived at Chandler at low tide ... note boat ramp
Modaki at visitor dock, with the Dupuis Island and reef, and a ship wreck in back ground
the old pulp mill in back ground
the marina lent shopping carts to take and get groceries with.  We just needed fruits, veggies and milk
the skipper, cleaning off salt on the boat
there was no water at visitor dock, and our hose would not reach to the taps, so Joe used our bucket to clean the boat
the winds picked up again today, so we are happy that we are not planning to travel
the harbour master Annie, heading out for a sail
the rocks on this beach are mostly flat
I now have Joe interested is rock collecting .. ha ha
taking a break ...
lots of blue shells
Annie the harbour master, dropped by for drinks after work
Phillip, on Marie Elise, stopped in with some information on our crossing the Bay of Chaleur to New Brunswick
