As we left our sacred cove and came into the open waters of the lake we encountered for the first time the winds that still can create quite some white caps even here on the lake. It did not take too long till we reached the shelter of St. Peter’s cove and marina.
It also was the day for Jelaine to depart from the boat and be driven to Halifax via rent-a-car and Tom accompanying her for her next day flight back to Florida.

So we returned to our old safe haven of the St. Peter’s Marina to rest through the night and move on the following day. The window of opportunity in regard to weather is short and it would be nice to move on to new sights and places, meet new people and have more special encounters as we always seem to have.

It is Wednesday afternoon and Tom has finally returned from his excursion to Halifax but he has returned sick as a dog, as they would say. It seems that he got some serious food poisoning last night and is having a hard time with it. Well, here we go, Nada’s oils and Inner Defense never fail to amaze and help in any such situation. When in need everybody is willing to give it a shot and to their amazement they feel better. Thank God for Young Living Oils!
Well, even though it is already way into the day Joe decides to move out and bring us to our next resting spot along our way to Halifax. To our amazement it is not as bad out there on the open ocean as predicted and we are able to reach Liscomb Lodge some 70 nm further S SW as initially planned. This lodge is tucked in way up into the Liscomb river where they only have one dock available and there was not enough power for us to hook up to but stay on the generator through the night. What a ride it was gliding along the river into the bright setting sun and finding the almost invisible bowies that are marking shawls and shallows along the way. Just as the sun set behind the hill and the trees surrounding this huge lodge that seems so out of place we were able to dock, wash the boat of from quite a bit of salt that we collected along the way and settle in for the night. It is a peaceful setting as the blanket of the night gently wraps it all into it’s warm embrace.
