Land Ho! Cape Breton was in sight more than halfway across – Hoped once we lost sight of it, NF would then be in sight on the other side. There’s a certain comfort in actually seeing your destination – false comfort of course – the depth finder stopped measuring after 600 feet of icy water. But such was not to be – NF came into sight about 20 miles out. Having a drink of rum dockside now – exhausted. New auto helm conked out 4 hours in, Mount Pearl crew on their own to sail the rest of the way. Halifax crew had to disembark at Baddeck – heartbroken to lose them. Fill you in later – feast of lobster and cod awaits.
Safe and sound.
Come What May 
Great news and great accomplishment Chris and Michelle. Enjoy the well deserved rest and savour the well deserved rum. The big run is now behind you. Best of wishes to you both on the rest of your journey. – Eric

Glad all is well. Sounds like quite an adventure but what a sense of achievement. Happy Canada Day to you both. Looking forward to the trip around the coast. You are following in the steps of most of our ancestors here on the Rock….. seeing the island from the coast What a privilege most of us don’t get to enjoy.
