Position 43 15.5N 66 09.9W Crossing the Bay of Fundy!
Most of yesterday and last night were spent motoring in the fog. Winds layed down around mid day and with relatively calm seas we made good progress toward Cape Sable on Nova Scotia.
As we approached the Cape we found ourselves in company with several vessels all on the same course. We sailed along with Bonnie Lynn and a tug and barge for many hours.
This morning we rounded the Cape and at the change of the watches at 0800 set the sails. Although winds seemed light we are now sailing at between 5.5 and 6 kts off the wind, clear skies and fairly calm seas - Beautiful. A puffin flew by with a mouth full of capelin and we are on close watch for whales.
We will change our clocks for the last time as we enter US waters. We should make landfall early tomorrow morning and will try to clear customs later in the day.
All is well. Capt. Rick Miller
