Bedford

I’ve been largely anchored here for the last 8 days.  This is my home town, and it’s great to catch up with old friends and relatives.  I’ve rejoined BBYC as an outport member, and we raced Narwhal Wednesday night.  The club is quite vibrant these days.

I’ve been to downtown Halifax several times as well.  It’s about an hour away by boat.  The waterfront has changed a lot since I lived here in the 1980s.

Tomorrow we head for Chester, about 50 miles away.  Allister is taking Narwhal and I’ll shadow them in Escapade, and we’ll raft up in Back Harbour for the week.  Racing starts Wednesday. 

Some photos from the Halifax waterfront.  There are a lot of foreign yachts in the area.  I like that last boat, but don’t recognize the design.  Big boat is an Oyster 655.  Nice looking boat.
