 Wilson came over to the boat and helped me plan the next phases of my trip. He had lots of good tips for places to stay and anchor. I had an early lunch at Wilson’s and then decided to set out for Liverpool, NS. I left Chester at 2:30pm and arrived in Liverpool around 8:30, just as the sun was setting. The days are getting noticeably shorter. The harbour there is small, with a paper mill on one side and the downtown on the other. The harbour was full of boats because there was a big festival going on down by the waterfront and I could not find a place to anchor. I left the harbour and went out in to the bay across from the paper mill. I found a little cove and anchored the boat in 10 feet of water. It was pushing 11:00pm and close to low tide by the time the anchor was set. I had a cold beer and watched the anchor for an hour. Satisfied that I was not going to be dragging my anchor anywhere, I went to bed and set my alarm for a 2-hour wakeup watch. I got up a couple of times through the night and the anchor held without difficulty all night long. |
