Tuesday morning of July 30, 2013 it is and the seas are calm like a mirror spread out over a vast landscape as far as the eye can see. The happy clouds, like little sheep of the sky are perfectly mirrored on the surface of the water. There is barely a breeze and even a sailboat on the horizon did not put up any sails yet there are numerous pods of dolphin gently gliding through the St George’s Bay and feeding on an abundance of baitfish as it seems. Here and there a nosy seal pops up it’s head in examining the surface and checking us out as we pass by taking our time and enjoying the ride. What a difference it is to the previous day when we were tossed about by the strong SSE winds and waves up to 6 or more feet of short chop.
With a grateful heart I praise our Creator and thank for this magnificent new day of our journey.

As our path takes us up the coast and around the point into the St, Georges Bay we encounter a phenomenon of sudden on come of fog. A sheer veil gently wraps itself around a commercial fishing boat that we pass as well as the landscape of the Bay. It seems that there is a radius of clarity surrounding our boat and before you know it has lifted and retreated further into the mountains of the nearby shore.
Todays passage takes us through the lock of Cantso Straite that is connecting the St. Georges Bay with the Lennox Passage and the Atlantic Ocean. The squeaky old bridge at the lock was a sight to see and hear for it seemed to groan and moan not to eager to move as it has done for many of years allowing big freighter boats to come through it in order to load the heavy load of material used in the production of plaster. Thankfully the freighters that we encounter are docked and none out to sea. My regret is to see a beautiful mountain slowly being dismantled for the use of progress of human kind, yet deep within I know that Mother Nature will prevail and man will have to give in and find other sources without destroying the ancient beauty of our planet.
