Well after an adventurous start of delayed planes, rerouting through Toronto and lost luggage, Noah and I finally arrived in Saint John at 2 am. We had a sleep in and got me some antibiotics as I have a sinus and ear infection. We are ready to go. Sterling arrived a day before us and has the boat ready to go.
We could go through the Reversing Falls at 2pm so we took our opportunity to head out. Due to the high tides and the current you can only go in and out of the Saint John river twice a day.
We headed for Grand Manan. The trip was about 3.5 hours. The conditions were fair. Light winds at 10 knots and we were able to cruise at 15 knots.
We arrived at the North head of Grand Manan at a fishing wharf. It we rafted to a fishing boat and tied up for the night. The Harbour master was a nice woman. We didn't even have to pay.
We walked up to the local pizza shop and had a delicious pizza for dinner. The pizza shop is in an old post office and there was a cute gift shop and candy shop there as well. We bought a great door mat made from rope for the boat. Noah got a small bag of candy and a wooden fishing boat for his collection.
The pizza shop is family run and a really nice place. Great place for dinner.
