24 July 2017 Summerside,
PEI –to- Bouctouche, N.B.
Marc- We awoke to
what appeared to be favorable conditions and departed after bringing Sue to the
Moncton airport
and returning the rental car. All went
smoothly on the land side. As soon as we were past the Summerside breakwater the winds and waves began to build from
the Northwest (the direction we were going in of course). I gave up on motoring alone and decided to
motorsail and tack toward our general destination. This worked much better than just crashing
into the waves. We made our way over to
the NB shore and then the seas and winds dropped off and we motored the
remaining miles to Bouctouche arriving at 18:00. Jean was there to greet us along with a
Michigan boater on a 38
foot Ericson sailboat. Sara and I both
really like this place. We decided to
walk to the IGA for a few food
items. There are lots of nice shops along
the way and we returned by the boardwalk along the river. After dinner we went to the Clubhouse where
boaters were planning the next days travels.
Jean informed us of the pending weather conditions. I was reluctant to believe him at first
since the previous forecast was for light winds only.
Sara and I then watched a movie on board Lucy III.
