Dates have become obsolete, except when listening to the weather forecast. This is fitting when it feels like you're in the middle of nowhere. Anchored in a bay tucked off the southern coast of Nova Scotia, the boat is surrounded by spiky evergreens crammed on a rocky shoreline. The only sign of civilization is a small blue shack on the opposite side of the bay.
Passing through the Strait of Canso we navigated a tiny channel alongside Andrew Island to the "sunrise coast" of Nova Scotia. The channel took us past a picturesque town that I can't do justice to by simply describing, so check out the pictures. Passing through that channel involved quick navigational decisions when the buoy positions didn't match our GPS. But we got through with our sanity intact and safely reached Port Howe for the night.
It strikes us as odd that a place called "Port Howe" lacks an actual port, but this just adds its untouched beauty. As we settle in for the night fog rolls in around us, creating a perfect atmosphere to spend the night on such a rough and rugged coastline. Now that I actually know what day of the week it is, here's hoping that everyone enjoys the weekend!
Nicole.
