We wake up to FOG.  We cannot see a thing and yet we need to go early and make the long haul over to Nova Scotia.  So at 6 o’clock we slowly make our ways through the fog and the lobster traps.  Radar is on and eyes are searching the “horizon”….which is 50 meter away….!

Breakfast as we can “on the run”.  After a couple of hours the fog burns away and we emerge into clear weather.  There is no wind, again, and we motor along victim of the tidal currents into the Bay of Fundy (were max. tidal range is 17 meters !!).  Sometimes it is 6 knots, sometimes 8 knots.  Finally we see whales, on at least three occasions and we manage to get some good photos.  At one time Magnus L, who was steering, jumped up with a scream.  There was a huge whale just 5 meters away from the boat.  He was so agitated with his GoPro camera that he missed the target…!

At 1800 hours we dock in Yarmouth, on the tip of Nova Scotia.  According to instructions we immediately call the “Telephone reporting Site/Marine” in Canada and give boat and personal credentials. 15 minutes later 2 gentlemen from the Canadian Border Control drops by. We get our passports stamped and a voucher that we are in good order in Canada.  We can now disembark and have dinner. We go to Rudders immediately above the pier.  This proves to be a jolly place with life music, great sea food and a local brewery to allow excesses.  We eat well and dance into the night and go to bed well accounted for in every sense.
