Harbour le Cou

After a lazy morning in the sun at Isle aux mort and having stocked up on Moose meet, It was decided to meander 15 miles down the coast to Harbour le Cou and the deep lake, just behind. We set off in the sun just a bit too relaxed. As we exited to the open see through a series of marked turns, that led us through the rocks. The weather took a turn for the un predictable. Fogg!!! Again thick and moving at 20 knots against us temperature dropped by 15 degrees and it was time to togg up for the less relaxed than hope doodle down the coast. In essence we couldn’t see a thing, it was cold and the wind was in the wrong direction.
Radar,AIS and chart plotter on we manoeuvred into the ample channel that gained access to Le Cou harbour. Our intention was to not stay at the harbour but find our way into the the rear Barra lake behind. Luckily for us a local fisherman caught our eye and told us they had blocked the channel through to the lake with a large rope, appently to stop the drift ice coming into town. Our new plan was to tie up at he veryy small and quite shallow government dock. This small town only seemed to have 2 small lobster fishing boats and almost no inhabitants.
We walked the trail round the headland in some drizzle then had tea and headed to bed . With a plan to explore the lake and waterfall in the morning.

Up late as usual. Followed by leisurely launch of dinghy and a putter round the very wild lake are.Leggi altro
