We broke our journey here, a fairly easy 50 miles north of Kincardine, rather than use all available daylight to push through to Kincardine. It tools us about 9 hours gybing dead downwind, with some motor assist to get us here by dinner time.
The Ports guide discourages stopping on this stretch of the coast, but the sailing directions provide clear instructions. We could have followed the channel markers even without GPS and never saw less than 22 feet on the way in.
I now know the exact sounds made by a 5/16 my lock nut as it falls from the hot hinge of a round Magnum BBQ, bounces off the transom and plops into 20 feet of water. Fortunately I also knew exactly where to find the replacement shown here 😎
Another sailboat joined us about 19:30, and there have been a couple of power boats in the bay, but otherwise we haven’t seen anyone all day.
