Sorry folks, I am updating a Whole Week in this one session. After a lovely wedding we returned to the boat Monday Aug 3 with the new crew. Dennis and Tim and Faye Joined Rick as they planned their 3 province leg. Tuesday was a 70 mile run to Charlottetown PEI, from New Brunswick. I will let the crew add their own tales later. Wednesday was the crossing to NS and the boat passed the Wedding Site (2 weeks to go). I hear it was a lovely anchorage in site of Cape Breton, and then on Thursday the boat was officially tied to NS soil in Port Hawkesbury. Another wedding on Friday, took the crew away again and Ricky was left to recover in Cape Breton. Our friends John and Kim were married on the beach and we had a great party back at their place on Bush Island in Cape Lahave. I have just returned from camping on the Island and have to say, it is as beautiful a place as one can go and I can’t wait to bring the boat there and spend some time. Had to leave everyone there today digging clams and snorkeling , cooking next to the fire and enjoying another hot and sunny day. Tough life. But the show must go on. We have some big winds tomorrow (Monday), so I plan to do a little work at home and return in the a.m. to Cape Breton and use a weather window that seems promising on Tues to Thurs. Mom arrives Friday so our timing may be perfect. Then I will have one crazy week and see you all at the wedding. I will update our progress this week…not many miles to go but some challenging ones. Homeward bound……..dave
