Canada has been just amazingly breath-taking. We love Canada, and will hate to leave it.

Left Halifax - Mahone Bay, 12 ft swells, Wind, Fog - Day 62 | Boating Tales

As we rounded the point and headed out along the coast toward Mahone Bay and Lunenburg we were hit by major 10-12+foot swells, hard wind and very thick heavy fog. The waves were very close together. It was not a pleasant next 3-4 hours but heavy, rough seas. We just slowly plowed through it.

Sorry I missed you. It would have been nice to meet you all and see that awesome boat here in Halifax. You have posted some great pictures as well, here and on your blog. Safe travels and keep the wind at your back.

Heavy Fog, Wave and Thousands of Lobster Buoys - Day 68 | Boating Tales
IMG_3140.jpeg

Navigating in heavy fog, rain and moderately rough seas (often typical weather in Maine) really is not a problem as long as you have radar and a good GPS with detailed charts. But...add to that mix literally thousands of lobster buoys all around you floating on or almost on the surface, due to strong currents pulling them just under water sometimes, and you have an almost impossible situation for pleasure boaters. They were everywhere! They certainly were all around the shoreline for sure. So I tried going 5-10 miles off shore in 200 to over 300 feet of water and they were there too. So I figured I would at least get into the marked shipping lanes going in and out of the major harbors...forget that. The shipping lanes are the deeper spots and that's where some nice lobsters are, so that's where the pots were placed too...all over the place! It is as if the State of Maine has decided that lobster fishing anywhere and everywhere they want to put their pots is more important than recreational boating...both power and sailboats. You just can't go 20-30 mph on foggy days, which fog can stick around for many days at a time. Ask me if it was fun boating for 7 hours today.

We encountered the Black Pearl a couple of times, but somehow escaped without having to walk the plank... :)

To me it was amazing how the marinas dealt with the tides. And such large ones at that.
