August 27, 2013 Day 97 South Shore of Nova Scotia
At anchor, Port Mouton off Carters Beach
Nova Scotia, Canada
We
departed Lunenburg at 7:00 and encountered fog shortly after we left the
harbor. Our quiet harbor turned into
fairly rough seas when we turned into the ocean with 4-5 ft swells for about
three hours. The fog lifted about 10:00
and we could finally see Outbound. We
knew where they were on radar – only ¼ mile from us. By 11:00 the sun was shining and the seas had
calmed down considerably. We anchored by
Carters Beach at Port Mouton in a beautiful setting with a beach, large rocks, Spectacle
Island, coves, and trees all in striking colors. We were surprised at how cold the water is!

After
lunch, Ron and Lisa picked Joyce up in their dinghy and we had a relaxing time walking on the beach playing
with their dog Gizmo, and finding some interesting small shells.

We
had leftovers for dinner on board and spent the evening chart plotting and
reading in this peaceful anchorage.
