Modaki on the left hand side, we went for a dinghy ride before leaving in the morning
up the George Creek is an area that someone is clearing for a house, there
was lots of "lots for sale" in this area.
St. George Lighthouse is over 137 years old
note again no wind, so we motored into some other anchorages, just to check them out
Joe said he feels like a dog hanging his head out of a car window ... too funny Joe !!!
I sure am glad we pack extra diesel for all of this motoring
it is hard to see by this picture, but we brought a lot of mud up with the chain and anchor ...
were is that fresh water power hose that the bigger boats have.
one of the anchorages that is popular is Marble Mountain, in Clarke Cove
there is a fishing dock, with lobster trap on the dock, it is not for pleasure craft
some buildings that are left over from the marble business, that operated
from 1869 - 1920
there is a few beaches, that are good for swimming
the beaches are comprised of small white marble chips and pebbles, that
help give the water it's blue/green tropical appearance.
light houses everywhere, some of them need painting and most don't have working lights.
We stopped in 60 ft of water, to have lunch.
entering Little Harbour, it is only 295 ft wide with sand bars on both sides, and if you stay
in the middle you have 18-20 ft of water.
once inside the harbour you are protected by all winds
4 1/2 hours and 15 miles
this 52 ft. Collin-Archer design, is at anchor and belongs to the owners
of the Cape Breton Smoke House Restaurant
The owners head out on the boat late October for the Bahamas, and return the end of May,
to open the restaurant up.

Smoked Salmon
a view of the restaurant as we headed back to the dinghy
another day over ... there was one other boat at anchor
