Thursday May 21,09
Our night watch was cold but busy.
We arrived off the coast of Nova Scotia about 5:00am and then proceeded to weave our way through the
barricade of lobster pots into a bay South of Lunenberg, Port Mouton. We anchored snug up against the
Western shore. According to the Captain there is a high wind warning, near gale force from the West, for
tonight so we motored in and holed up to let it pass.
Our watch has been stood down till noon when all hands will turn to to do ships work. This will consist of
getting her all “beautified” for her triumphal return to Lunenberg on Saturday. Not sure what we will end
up doing tomorrow I think it depends on the winds.
More later…
The Sun was warm this afternoon. Warm enough in fact to work in T shirt and sandals! I thought that was
done for good :-)
I spent the afternoon painting the seizings on the main shrouds white, the shrouds are black.
After the deck was cleaned up we had a great roast beef dinner. Then once the dishes were done we
gathered on the welldeck for an impromptu “just us” party. After tomorrow we will be under the control
of the shore and we’ll have families and our shore lives tugging at us. Last night however it was just us,
dancing to Reggae, Celtic Rock, Classic Rock and lots of good vibes.
The gale blew as expected but it was a clear air gale, no clouds at all. Snug in this bay we hardly felt it.
Tomorrow we may set sail for a bay closer to Lunenberg. It will depend on the winds and weather as
always :-)
Thanks for reading.
