\"\"<\/a>I departed White Head at 7:00am and headed towards Liscombe Mills. I was tempted to go up to Les and Carol\u2019s house to say goodbye and thank them again but I was not sure if they would be up, so I cast off and waved in their direction several times\u2014just in case they were looking! When I got out on to the ocean the wind and the waves were pretty rough for an hour or two but then things calmed right down\u2014just as the marine weather forecast said it would. It was even nice enough for me to set the jib at 1\/3 and the mizzen full for several hours.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a>The Liscombe resort and marina is up a river and quite a distance inland. This was a very interesting trip inland and well worth the extra mileage. There were a few points in the river where the channel was not much wider than the boat but lots of depth so I was not worried about running aground\u2014as long as I stayed in the channel! As it turned out Ananda was the only boat at the resort. It is a beautiful little oasis from the wild ocean.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/a>I arrived at 2:00pm and after talking with the marina manager I went to the restaurant to have lunch and a cold beer. I even got to see the resort chef preparing cedar plank salmon for the dining room\u2019s evening dinner menu. He was cooking several huge fillets on a very large plank in front of an open fireplace set up near the restaurant patio. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the young lady who served me lives in London and is a tourism\/hospitality student at Fanshawe College. What a small world it is indeed! After a great lunch I had an exciting night washing the boat, doing laundry and responding to email. It was good to be underway again and also that the inverter for the backup computer was working just fine.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
