Canso NS

We left the anchorage this morning and headed towards the ocean. There was no way we were going out. The winds were coming out of the south west at 20 to 25. Since that’s the direction we needed to go, sailing was out of the question. We didn’t want to burn all our diesel beating into that mess, so we decided to get a slip. As is was, just crossing Chedabucto Bay was tougher than either of us wanted.

At the entrance to the ocean is a small town called Canso. We stopped for the night at the local marina / RV park. It’s a tight squeeze in here, especially at low tide. But, we made it, were tide up, the heats on, and we’re waiting for the rain to stop before he head out to explore.

Tomorrow, the winds will be in our favor and we’ll be ready to hit the ocean. We’re planning on doing an overnight to Halifax. I’ve already picked out serval anchorages if we need to bail out.
