Day 84 – Tuesday, September 1, 2009

We bid fare well to Snug Harbor and headed to Baie Fine. Three hours later we arrived in “The Pool” at the far end of Baie Fine. What a gorgeous location. We are surrounded by 450 foot rocky cliffs covered with 75 foot pine trees! The water is like glass and considering this is a destination point for boats there’s only five of us at anchor. Baie Fine is compared to the fiords of Norway! The nine miles that lead into the pool are cut into the rock and wind their way through a series of mini mountains until reaching a canal that takes you to the pool. It’s very shallow at the entrance to the channel and also at the elbow where you turn 90 degrees to enter the pool. The last leg of the journey into Baie Fine turns most boats around. It is a mile long and down stream from the nine mile fiord leading to it. Slow and careful is the only way to proceed - but when you make it in one piece its well worth it!

Barb and I launched the dinghy and went exploring. We were out over two hours and had a super time. After that I just sat on the boat and listened to the noises of nature and watched the scenery as the boat rotated at anchor.

We had cocktails at 5 on Barb and Johns boat then returned to Moor$tuff and removed the motor from the dinghy to begin preparing for tomorrow mornings departure to Little Current.

I’m going to set an alarm to get up and view the night sky! Last night was unbelievable and tonight should be equally beautiful.
