July 22 – 23
Our goal is Nova Scotia but to get there we need to do some preperation. The first was to get fuel so we went back to Rockland but to the Journey’s End Marina instead of the Safe Harbor where we stayed last time. According to a friendly captain in Portland, it had the cheapest fuel around. The marina was not as nice as Safe Harbor but we did have a nice view of the Coast Guard station.
After Rockland it was off to somewhere new, Southwest Harbor which is in Acadia National Park. This is our staging stop before going across the Bay of Fundy to Nova Scotia. We had been to Acadia NP on our road trip when we left Terrapin in Portland. It is still an amazing area.
When do you start heading south?
We are still heading North. Currently in Halifax and head to Cape Breton and Bras d’Or Lake next week. Will be heading back South around mid-August. Somewhere in the Chesapeak by first of September. That is the plan written in wet sand at low tide.
