Happy Canada Day.
It is very foggy here this morning. It was also very cold last night. We needed to bundle up and put the heat on.
We are waiting for the fog to lift so we can head out. We watched a US Navy ship dock as it is in Eastport for July 4th celebrations. It was so foggy that we could barely see the ship and it was only half a km away.
Around 1130 am, we decide that the fog is lifted enough to head out. There is a short cut through Lubec channel but the current is strong there and it has lobster pots in the channel so we decided to go back out around Campobello island. This way is longer and brings us back into Canadian waters for a short time but it is safer to go this way.
Pretty foggy down the coast and there is a lot of current. At one point we crossed over a riptide. It was the strangest thing. I could see a wall of waves like a surf and then after that the water was flat calm. Bizarre.
As we got closer to Jonesport the lobster pots started. Noah and I had to spot them for Sterling. They are everywhere.
We arrived in Jonesport around 430 pm and tied up to a mooring buoy at the Jonesport Shipyard. It was a great mooring it was a small floating dock with a mooring ball. $25 a night.
The owner was a very nice man named Sono. He was originally from Sweden. He and his wife own the shipyard. He was so generous he even brought Sterling a 5 lb bag of mussels.
We put on our Canada Day shirts and got out our basket of decorations. Noah decorated the boat and we had a Canada Party. We played some Great Big Sea and had lots of fun.
The fog rolled in about an hour after we arrived and it is thick.
Very cold tonight. The heat is on and we need to bundle up. They had fire works here tonight but it was too foggy to see them.
