Well the sailing season is just about wrapping up with just over one month before the haul-outs begin. Had a great 4 day weekend on the boat on the Labour Day weekend sailing the river system. Belleisle Bay was the destination this time. For the first time we sailed down to the end of the bay to the small community of Hatfield's Point. We were met by some very friendly locals that said we were the first boats in of the summer. For the most part this point was always a place where sailboats weren't supposed to be able to get into...learned differently. What a beautiful tiny harbour to spend a weekend. Only three boats take residence on moorings there. One being this beautifully Nova Scotia built dory sailing boat owned by a local resident. This place rates high on my list of places to come back to.

Aside from sticking to the river this summer and sailing on an the Route Halifax / St. Pierre Ocean Race, not much else was done this year...one of those years.
