Week two started slow. All the cadets went to CFS last night so they ate breakfast late today. So we go a slow start this morning. The weather is foggy and no wind. But we anchored off a waterfall in the Bay of Fundy for lunch so life is good.
Day two was a great day on the water. We had a good wind all day. We even had the spinnaker up for a good down wind run.
Day three was canceled because there so much foggy that all we could do with the cadets is jetty approaches all morning.
Day four was a great day in the water with the cadets. That night we took part in the Weds night racing at the Digby yacht club. We had a good start but after 2 hours the winds died so the race was called.
Day 5 was the last day for training for the cadets and Tuna. We had alright winds and it was sunny so who can complain to much.
Friday we stored the boat and departed Digby at 9:44 am. We passed through Digby neck before the tides changed. Bay of Funny reports 44 feet of tides in some places. We motored sailed all night and arrived in Shelburne around 1 pm. We took on fuel 66 liters and also enjoyed a nice hot shower and some good food. We will leave here tomorrow early in the am for Chester.
We motored into the wind from 5:30 am till 8:30 pm at which time we arrived in back habour of Chester. It was a great day to finish off the trip. The Tuna will be staying in Chester for a week to compeat in Chester race week.
