Well Sidney was ok. The marina is nice. Super helpful dock staff that took care of everything. Wifi. Nice facilities. But the town. Well it felt like a bit of a retired folks town. Not a lot going on. Took a nice walk to the neighboring harbor in the evening. Dog needed it and it reminded me of England. Funny how close to the states we are and yet every house front garden looked English.
Left for Bedwell Harbor around noon. Super slow cruise over. Took about 90 minutes. Arrived to find the 86 footer that was opposite us in the marina in Sidney was anchored in the bay.
We dropped anchor just off poets cove marina and took the dinghy in. The dog swam for about an hour. Gorgeous shell beach that was covered in clams. I dug with a gown clam shell I found and in no time had the biggest clam I have ever seen it was about 8 inches wide. Awesome dinner addition. Checked out the resort. Nice pool, nice place but not really bothered with it.
Headed back and fished for a bit. Nothing much doing but caught 3 pesky dog fish. I prefer to say shark, sounds cooler and let’s face it they are little sharks. The dog got very excited with seeing the sharks thrashing around and was trying to grab them in his mouth.
Little bit of clean up and then chill on the bow watching the sunset.
Nice day today. Proper boating. Seafood, fishing, beach, and lots of nothing.
Crab pot is in soaking now. Not sure if I get it tonight or leave it and get it in the morning. Feeling a little lazy.
As i type the sun is setting, the sky is pink and a seal is swimming just off the bow. All while the dog is fast asleep against my leg.
Isn’t this how life is supposed to be? Better go finish my whiskey.
Later…
