WHERE ARE WE? |
| |
August 21, 2008 -- Moiles Harbour |
| |
| |
We were trying to sail through to Long Point Cove when we ran out of wind. Not wanting to motor through the Whalesback Channel we, with Quintessence, decided to stop at Moiles Harbour.
|
| |
Moiles Harbour is a former harbor for the Moiles brothers sawmill. Accordingly there are the remains of old wharfs, many deadheads and a lot of sawdust mixed up with the mud creating iffy holding. We still like the picturesque harbor and usually have no problems setting the anchor.

The clustering effect accorded once more when a boat came in and, even though there was plenty of room elsewhere, anchored so close to Quintessence that when the wind shifted, they had to move to avoid hitting Quintessence.

In the morning, as we left, we hit a deadhead. It shook the boat but no problem.
