this is "s/v Walkabout " … Randy, (in front) and Ryan … Randy and Carmen, live near Annapolis, USA and live aboard their 45 ft Dufor … and Ryan and Elizabeth crew aboard when ever they can …
they too are here for the Bahamian Boat Reuniuon at Dunroman Campsite, owned by Janis and Cam Albright …
as we are leaving Digby the ferry to St. John New Brunswick is loading passengers
no wind and motoring up the Annapolis River
Joe and I just remarked that this was the first time in the last few weeks that we have not had to have radar on … then all of a sudden
radar came on and fog came in behind us
it soon cleared
this is Port Royal Historical Site, we visited it a few days later
Annapolis Royal as seen from the water
the red brick building belongs to Joe's mom's friend, Elizabeth and Arthur …
we are coming in on the rising tide and the new dinghy dock and steps are just about flat
note the water floating these boats ….
our 3 hour trip for the day
our friend Janis, made arrangements for Modaki and Walkabout to tie up to the fishermen's bouys , it was the first for us … bow tied on and
this is the stern line tied … Randy from Walkabout came over in his dinghy to help with the stern line … not as easy as one would think to hook on to
these are the boats that were floating when we came in … the tide goes up or down in this area one foot in 10 minutes ….
and the tides when we were here was 30 ft
we visited some local shops .. lots of folk art
the houses are so well maintained and painted .. the flower beds also were at their prime
this is Modaki on the left and Walkabout on the right … we are about 1/3 mile from the dinghy dock
another beautiful home and it is for sale
you just never know who you will meet this far away from home … Peter and Shelly Everett from our yacht club back home in Owen Sound, found us wondering down the main street … they were here to celebrate Peter's mom's 90 birthday, in a few days … and she stays 6 months out of the year at our friends campsite .. Dunroman … a small world for sure
this is close to low tide, higher than a 3 story building
there is lots of suds in the river
this sure made Modaki and the dinghy dirty
here we are tied bow and stern, this gets more boats in a small area, …… if they were on mooring balls, tied bow only, they would swing in a very large circle at low tide
this is what we found on our sea glass adventure … there was a lot of glass, but it was not worn, because of all the mud and not a stoney shore
