I left Escapade ashore at Crowley’s for a survey and some glass/paint repairs on deck.
My plan is to store there this winter, but I inadvertently checked in to the US on last year’s cruising permit. So my plan is to launch in late August and head back to Canada for a brief fall cruise.
In the meantime I’m writing this from the cockpit of Narwhal V in Bedford NS. It’s like jumping back 38 years in time. Or 19, as David reminded me that we last raced this boat in Chester in 2005, 19 years ago. Time flies. Now David’s son Allister is spearheading the program.
Tuesday I’m sailing this boat down to Chester with Allister, then I’ll be racing Weds – Sat in Chester Race Week. I’m racing aboard a Viking 28 with old friends Liz and Charlene and crew. I had fun in 2021 with them playing support boat with Escapade.
Today the weather was beautiful, and it looks fair through the week. I drove today from Antigonish down to the eastern shore then up the coast. The more I see of the eastern shore the more it appeals to me. I stopped to take a few boat pics.
