Monday morning it is and the day of our departure from this green island and some wholesome people has arrived. As the previous crossing this one had very similar signatures, rainy, windy and gray morning of departure. Just as anticipated and contrary to our masters anticipation to believe the wind forecast to be not too bad was very quickly annulled and the wind started gusting up to 25 KN and the sea started making up 6-8 feet in short increments making the ride very bumpy and uncomfortable. Is every crossing from here on going to be like this, I ask myself?
I certainly do not hope so and pray that the weather changes and fair winds set in with blue skies and calm seas!
As we finally reach the lieu of land and the wind decides to lay down, it is much more comfortable and easier on the crew over all.

As we settle in the marina and are washing down the boat it started raining and did not stop till after dinner. Nevertheless, we decided to go for a walk, see the town of such historic importance as the first settlement of the Scottish people in the mid 1700 and find a good place to eat. The choice od eateries is very limited and we end up in a newly opened Pub right in the Harbor across from the replica of the old ship Hector that brought the first settlers across the big Atlantic Ocean. The first settlers discovered a land so much like their homeland and it also gave them the freedom they so much wanted. The word spread to the old country and thousands followed creating Nova Scotia of abundance and peace. They learned to trade with the local Mic’ Maq Indians and establish themselves to new ways of living.
