| Joe, checking the drive shaft, plus all oils, trans. and engine |
 |
| I made some no bake cookies for our night trip ... but while they where cooling, some went missing ... skipper ??? |
 |
| the may for said we would have good wind, and it was when we left Chandler |
 |
| good bye Quebec |
 |
| beautiful night skies, good to be finally leaving another port |
 |
| a fishing boat coming behind us, back to his home port |
 |
| no wind, but it was great, to think we could have an easy night and 20 hours of travel |
 |
| we harnessed ourselves to the boat, it was warm now, but soon as the night encased us it was so cold, we got into survival suits, with harnessed ... thinking everything was good |
 |
| great sunset |
 |
| the sun set now .. and if you read the previous posting that Joe did you will know what happened all night and half of the next day ... |
 |
| in Pointe Sapin, we had locals help us to the wharf, and then the harbour master arrived and said it was better protected if we moved around the corner. .... we touched bottom on the outer wall |
 |
| one of the receiving/buying drop offs for the lobster fishermen |
 |
| our 20 hour ... 110 nm .... it was an adventure started out smooth sailing ... darkness comes and every thing changes .. the herring boats coming to harbour and wondering what ... we where under sail and had our masthead light on .. we got spot lights shone on us at least 6 times ... the wind was not as predicted ... and it turned out read Joe's notes .. |
 |
| you have to follow these range markers to come into the channel ... I watched the fishing boats and none of them cut it short ... |
 |
| by one pm to 3 pm all 78 lobster boats are back at dock ... of course they leave at 5am |
 |
| back at dock |
 |
| 40 ft lobster boats, rafted |
 |
| this is one of the three herring boats here .. we watched them leave at night and understood that they caught nothing in a 8 hour period ... ouch |
 |
| herring boat |
 |
| MODAKI , one sailboat, 78 lobster boats and 3 herring boats ... and one seal !!! |
 |
| buyers, waiting for the boats to come in |
 |
| boxes that the lobster is put in with ice to be sent to processing plant ... this time of the year they are too small to be sold fresh from here |
 |
| the vacuum used on the herring boats ... not used while we were here ... |
