You wouldn't know it by some of these pictures, but it's been getting colder wetter and windier. Add shortening to the list, and you get to asking, "Why am I doing this?". After trying to make Halifax a few days ago, we realized that we would be running at night to make some of the long passages to get across the Gulf of Maine and down the coast. Ew.
So we have decided to put the rest of the trip on hold. Sheet harbour is a great place to tie-off for the season, and we can come back to Picton, at least for a while. We are now trying hatch a plan to travel on asphalt until we return to the boat in May.
I will be putting a last post up with a nice picture of Pilger soon. And for the record, we are feeling pretty good about this. Looking forward to a Spring/summer tour through Nova Scotia, New England and the Chesapeake Bay. Hopefully we can make the Greater Antilles November.

Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have had an amazing time so far.
I have been keeping an eye on your progress each week.
We must get together when you return to Picton.

Yeah, we did have some fun. Lots of work, too. Saw some neat things and met some really great people! See ya soon.
