It was a beautiful sunny day and we spotted another Humback Whale as we set out this morning for Fury Cove. The prospect of strong winds re-directed us to Finn Bay, a picture perfect spot where we now sit alone (i.e. just the two boats) near an empty, non-operative fishing lodge. There are many closed lodges on this coast and some are for sale. With fishing stocks low, the heyday of fishing lodges seems to be a thing of the past. It is depressing to see them falling into disrepair.
At Finn Bay, we anchored and stern tied our respective boats to shore. This is an exercise that only a few weeks ago would have taxed our abilities but today, it went off without a hitch. By Jove, I think we’ve got it!
Rob has gone fishing with Bill and Blue. A chicken breast is thawing, just in case… I love these afternoons alone on the boat. For me, it is the epitome of peace. The late afternoon wind is trying its best to spin the boat around but the stern tie is holding fast. The gentle rocking motion could theoretically cause me to nod off. Theoretically.
We had a farewell drink with Quina and Dylan aboard Eileen and Bill's boat tonight. They are great company and caught a lot of fish. A lot. And crab too. Dylan has grown up fishing and now gives his Dad a run for his money.
