August 5, 2012 Day 86 St. Amant's Marina, Britt Total
miles to date: 1614.5
Staying at St. Amant’s
Marina a third day was a wise decision. The wind had to be blowing at least
25-30 knots. Everyone made sure their
lines were extra well secured. We did a few more boat chores and trip planning.
Joyce and Sarah took a half mile walk to the Britt Post Office this morning and
talked to some of the locals on the way back. They do insist there are black
bear, moose and rattlesnakes here! They
have moose – car accidents here like we do with the deer at home.
In the afternoon we all
watched the Coast Guard rescue a sailboat whose sail became torn in the wind.
They were finally able to get the sail taken down and then anchored.
We went over to visit
Brooks and Sarah on Our Time for
appetizers and had a fun visit. A quick
dinner on board, and our Sunday was over before we knew it.
We plan to depart early
tomorrow morning if the wind isn’t too bad! We will not have wifi until perhaps
Wednesday when we are scheduled to be in Killarney.
