We arrived this evening. It was a long day on the water again. With lots, I mean lots of rain to welcome our arrival in Shediac. We are spending the night at http://sbyc.ca/. It is a very big marina and has all the items that a person needs, besides fuel. We were lucky that my brother Aarron meet us at the dock and help us refuel the boat. Also he picked up RaeAnn's mother and drove her to the Moncton airport so she could fly to Winnipeg to visit her family before she returns to BC. We had a great time with her and she will be missed. Now there are only two crew and a blind dog to complete the rest of the trip. Hopefully we will have smooth sea's and good winds for the rest of our trip home.
I am surprized at how shallow the water has been since we have been in NB. We have been sailing for the last two days and we could be two miles off the land and only have 18 feet of water. Both of the ports we have been in only had 7 to 8 feet of water in the channels at high tide. It's a little unnerving when I am so use to sailing in NS where there is lots of water normally.
