The entry was straighter than I remembered. Just line up the range and drive straight in between the buoys. There were 17 boats in, but we could have fit more. Five big power boats rafted and shared their music with the harbour.
The Gargantua, an old wrecked steam tug, has deteriorated further, but is still clearly recognizable.
The Cabot Head light used to be an attraction, but is fading. If you go look, land on the shingle nearer the point, not the obvious sand beach, especially by outboard. Even rowing you will probably strand yourself on a rock 20 metres from shore.
Reception for VHF and cell are both blocked by the bluffs of Cabot Head, so do any business before coming in off the water. We’re staying an extra day, so with luck I can get the posting backlog cleared tomorrow. We didn’t get a reliable signal off the east side of the Bruce until almost down to Cape Croker.
