Here we anchored in Browning Cove on Heywood Island. We dropped the hook at 8:00 pm – 8 hours after we left Tobermory (at noon) earlier today.

Our trip from Tobermory was pretty easy & we even got the jib out for a few hours. Average speed with sail & the engine assistance was about 7 knots.

There are about 15 boats anchored in this spot & there’s lots of room for everybody. Loons greeted us as we set our anchor.

Chris is making pasta with meat sauce for us tonight. It will go well with a big glass of red wine (we have a bit of that on board).

Cheers everyone!

If you copy & paste the above coordinates into Google Maps search box it will show you our location. I will try to remember to include our coordinates with each blog posting.

Note that the GPS coordinates with Google Maps may show us in a parking lot or on the side of a hill but I can assure you that we are still afloat. If we run aground I’ll be sure to post a special blog about that particular experience.

We arrived in Tobermory (Little Tub) Harbour around 2:00 am this morning, found an empty dock & went to bed. A long but satisfying day.

More chores await. Yesterday morning I was on a “high” at the top of the mast. This morning I’m a little closer to the waterline. (Unfortunately the glass of red that awaits me is transmission fluid – not wine – that comes much later in the day – after we have tied up to a dock or dropped the hook in a nice little anchorage)

Cheers!
