We got underway yesterday from Shippagan through the Gully, and set course for Richibucto. By noon the wind had dropped, and I was looking at a forecast for moderate to strong SW winds for Sunday and Monday. So we decided to travel the north shore of PEI rather than go through the Northumberland Strait and altered course by 90° to head for the north cape, then around to stop in Northport last night.
Today we followed the coast to stop in North Rustico, with a detour in to Stanley Bridge. We were cruising along in 10-20 ft of water about 1/2 mile from shore most of the day with a warm offshore breeze. We’re tied up with the fishing boats for the night.
This is all new waters for me. I’m enjoying it. Tomorrow we’ll get close to the east end of the island, and the weather looks good for the run down to Port Hawkesbury on Tuesday.
