      Roque

      August 6, 2023 in the United States

      Great day! Even though the weather hasn’t been warm (by my standards) it has still been enjoyable and my foul weather gear has got lots of use!
      We had a pot wrapped around the prop from yesterday’s sail and Brian had to gear up for cold water and take the plunge to unsnag us. There is a cold water advisory warning people not to go into the waters due to the low temperatures. He was brave!!
      We revelled in the sun (and no wind) afterwards untill the wind picked up.
      Off to a shack on shore to do a pastel and then on the way back to the boat we detoured to say hi to a fishing boat that had come into this secluded anchorage. Chad and his family were relaxing for the day. The told us that there was a path to the lighthouse behind the shack, and after he promised to bring us lobster, we headed back to the shack.
      Went for a walk down the wooden path to the lighthouse — a beautiful sight.
      Then onto the stressful, lobster pot filled waterway to Roque island. The waterway inlet gave way to a gorgeous beach and some warm and protected waters. Fishing boats were rafted together, so once we got settled, we decided to go visit them and head to the beach to clean the hairy scum off the dingy. One of the boats gave us 3 lobsters (Brian asked if they had extra). They were cooked so we feasted in the beach before dealing with the dingy and heading back to Lorena.
      We had a bit more to eat before the guitar came out and I wafted off to lala land.

    • Day 13

      In the pastel

      August 7, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Up early as always and enjoy spending the morning in the pilot house reading or writing in quiet while Brian does the same, sipping our coffee. Watched him view, and make adjustments to his pastel before doing some chores on the boat and waited for Chad to arrive, but he never did. We went to shore and Brian did a Pastel while I found a cosy spot on a fallen tree (albeit ants found me) to read my book. We then walked the mile long beach before heading back to the boat to make a delicious super (haddock, salad, baked potato). Our provisions are getting low but a storm is rolling in so we will find a sheltered place on the other side of the island to wait it out.
      Read more, danced to Brian’s playlist and listened to his strumming the guitar… a normal evening on the boat.
