Day 83 – Monday, August 31, 2009

This morning we hiked and climbed the “unofficial” marked trail to photograph our boats at anchor. The weather was cool and clear, perfect for a brisk physical walk up a steep hill. We took our time and it turned out to be quite enjoyable. By the time we returned to our boats secured the dinghy and weighed anchor it was close to noon. We moved up the coast only five miles to another anchorage called Snug Harbor.

Snug Harbor is a deep well protected natural harbor with a shallow entrance that probably keeps most boats out of here. We were told by other loopers to enter slowly and place a look out at the bow and look for rocks. We found 10 feet in the channel even thou the charts show 2 feet at the entrance! Parts of the bay drop off into 45 feet of water within 10 feet of shore. We anchored in 25 feet of water about 100 ft. from shore. John rafted off our boat. We then took a line from our boat to shore and tied off a tree to keep from swinging during the night.

Tonight we will have dinner on Moor$tuff around 6 then call it a day as it gets dark early in the middle of nowhere!

Tomorrow we plan on cruising to Baie Fine! Baie Fine is a boater’s dream destination! If every thing goes as planned we will anchor there for the night before moving to Little Current.
