July 27 - 29 … part two LaHave Yacht Club to Bridgewater, Nova Scotia


we were at anchor out side La Have Yacht Club … the wind howled all night long and our 150 ft of chain tugged this way and that … by the morning it was still raining and the fog rolled in … we had an appointment with  a Yamaha Dealer for our outboard, in Bridgewater, so we had to move … radar on and slowly entered the channel up the 15 miles to Bridgewater.


past the Snyders Shipyard, which is one of the few remaining shipyards in N.S. that still build and repair wooden vessels of all sizes


in places on the river it is 1/2 a mile across, but this is the safe channel and we just about could reach the trees with the whisker pole



old tugs, just before we reached the Bridgewater Marina, a new facility just 2 years old, we were hoping to dock over night to get the outboard fixed and as it turned out our Mac Book Pro, pooped out on us, luckily a computer shop, a taxi drive away fixed the first problem, then another problem occurred and another taxi drive and the 2nd problem got half fixed …  so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can limp along until we get to a Mac Dealer ….


our trip up the river


at the marina there is a vegetable garden that was put in by the local garden club, we were asked to take what we want … what a great idea .. the garden was surrounded by chicken wire to keep the deer out


Modaki at dock .. it was about a 10-15 minute walk to the grocery store


this is Frank, the volunteer at the Marina … he took us with our outboard, to the dealer, then picked it up, drove us to the grocery store, arranged a pot luck in the evening, went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of at Bridgewater Marina

to be continued …..
