I am writing from yet another excellent library, this one located in a renovated primary school. The community of Sheet Harbour has 800 people right in it and more around, so finding something free to do is quite easy: just look at the bulletin board at the Post Office! So tomorrow we shall attend a church service at a united church right beside where we are anchored in The NorthEast Arm, Sheet Harbour. Then at 3, there is a free concert at the local pub featuring more gospel, hopefully a choir. I don't have any photos just yet, sorry!
We are waiting for better wind to go to Halifax, but none is scheduled to come for four days. If we get the right wind forecasted for long enough, we must keep going, however, and make some serious tracks south! The weather patterns have featured four days of west at 25-35 knots, whew! That's a lot of days at a stretch to be socked in! But all is well on board, the skipper always seems to find great places to anchor to hide out from big wind. And I am so very glad I brought lots of nice yarn to play with! I have finished my custom-piece for Rose Haven Farm Store and have already cast on a pair of merino-alpaca socks. And they are for ME! yay.
The people we meet are so very friendly, offering rides to get provisions etc, giving us hardwood from their own pile, just being human!
We are starting to see Christmas Consumables in the stores now, even more impetous to put the jets on. Please indulge me in some low-carbon Christmas meaning: give something hand-made that you don't have to pay a lot of money for. Sometimes we are moved to give something special to a certain person, but not everyone, it's true! Let it be! The rest of us will feel great for that special someone, so don't worry about "playing favorites", it'll save you lots of time and money not having to shop out of guilt for the rest. Trust me.
