Summertime Port aux Basques

Summertime Port aux Basque

The sounds of summer are all around today.  So familiar – and so different from the 13 hour constant sound of the ocean waves, wind and boat engine we experienced yesterday.

Lawn mower humming in the distance, birds chirping, clothes flapping on the line, laughter of children playing nearby…… We hone in on each of them and smile.  Blissful.  Taking time to relish the moment before planning the next sail day.

And reflecting once again on another warm welcome received upon our arrival – assistance dockside, a feed of lobsters that we did not even have to crack!  Fabulous meals prepared and frozen to provision our vessel for another week. Blocks of ice being made for our cooler.  And reflecting on the accolades and relief expressed by our friends from afar.

We feel loved and content 🙂

  1. Congrats on a safe crossing. As a person who has done that trip in a 28-footer, I know how good P aux B can look after 14 or 15 hours on the Gulf!

    Cheers

  2. I trust the next leg of your Journey will be pleasant and filled with sunshine and not shrouded in fog. To see and experience the beauty of the Soutwest Coast will be awesome and I have no doubt you both will enjoy it immensely, this is the leg of the journey I would love to be doing with you. I have so many fond memories that I could be sharing with you along that stretch of our coastline.
    Good Luck!
