Saint John

Market Square dock

I had a smooth trip yesterday.  Arrived in Saint John just before low tide and took a run up to the Falls.  Did a spin in a big whirlpool and retreated back to Market Square.  Last time I was there was for a winter boat show about 40 years ago.  It looks much the same.

The only other ship or boat in the harbour was a large cruise ship.  On the way into the harbour I had fog with less than 1/4 mile visibility, and the stern of the ship lit up by the sun was a bright spot.  Interesting tricks the fog plays.

I got through the Reversing Falls about 8:00 pm and came up here to anchor for the night.  Will go ashore for lunch then head over towards Rothesay. 

It looks like rain and a bit of breeze this weekend.  I’m happy to be on the river.
