Day 58, Monday August 19th – Cove Island to
Port Elgin a day of sailing
 |
| Chantry Island Lighthouse just off of Southampton |
We are up early for our sail down to Port Elgin and are
underway by 7. Once we have cleared the
shoals at Cove Island we are able to hoist the sails and settle in for the
trip. It turns out to be an excellent
sail with the wind staying enough out of the west to let us sail close hauled
to Port Elgin. We make excellent time to
Port Elgin and arrive just before 5 pm.
We dock at the Port Elgin Municipal Marina and once tied up
we make the walk up to town. The plan
was to get a few groceries and then hurry back to the beach to take in the
sunset. The walk turns out to be about 2
km long and ends at an outdoor patio. We
decide to have a beer and then move into dinner thereby missing the
sunset. Oh well the beer and pizza was
good and there will be other sunsets.
Cheers
Dawson and Julie
