DAY 7 – Sunday, July 27.
It’s a bright morning
with relatively gusty winds and the forecast is for more thunderstorms again
this afternoon.
We have decided to hang at anchor in this little bay. We can
explore the island abandoned resort and try fishing. The power boat left but the other two
sailboats are still here. We can only get the French weather so it’s hard to
translate quickly. If I can find a MAFOR code on the Internet, I’ll start using
that. I can understand French numbers more easily than words!
Todd and Grampa spent the morning fishing. There was a small
boat off the point about 100 yards from us and they brought in 3 bass in a half
hour. Todd lost a two-foot pike but that
was it. We spent the afternoon swimming on the shore of Clapperton Island. It’s
all natural sand beach. It took Todd a few minutes to remember how to snorkel
but once he got it he was off! After we
came back to the boat Todd and Grampa went fishing again, this time where the
other boat had been but no luck. They went back to try to find that escaped pike
but he was not playing any more. We had spaghetti and meatballs for supper.
By nightfall there were 5 more sailboats in here with us. It’s
a huge bay so we are not near each other. They all have the protected shore
...we ducked in behind the little island in the middle of the bay
The thunderstorms never materialized but the wind rose to
about 40 knots over night and it was like sleeping on...a boat?
DAY 8 Monday
We are going to move to Gore Bay today. Winds are heavier
this morning but light this afternoon. It would be nice to be able to SAIL!!!
The winds have been on the nose since we left.
There are more storms forecast for the next few days. So we will take it one “bay at a time” ! Todd
had a great day yesterday and we are trying to enjoy every place we stop.
