Outting to Cape Forchu Aboard Kauwela Ohana

Kauwela Ohana at Anchor in John's Cove

Yarmouth Lighstatioin at Cape Forchu
Yesterday was another beautiful day in Yarmouth.  We all boarded Kauwela Ohana and headed about a mile out of the harbour to John's Cove to enjoy a white sand beach and hike to the Yarmouth Lighthouse.  With 2 dingys in tow we proceded from the Yarmouth Town docks to the mouth of John's Cove and set the hook in about 25 feet of water, then dingy'ed in to the beach.  The only thing missing were the palm trees...Kristian, Conoer and Caden ran into the water...and promptly ran right out...so the water was a bit cold...  After that experience in the water, we hiked down the road to the lightstation where we hiked over some of the rocks...took a few pictures. We watched several vessels from the Herring fleet heading out to the banks off the coast for the night.  Upon getting back to the beach, the crew headed back out to Kauwela Ohana and Danielle and I walked toward the breakwater to be pcked up by Danielle's cousin, Angela, to have supper at Paul & Angelas' place just outside of Yarmouth ... what a meal!!!

Beached Dingys at John's Cove
Today is our last planned day in Yarmouth before heading back to Westport, Brier Island, and back to the home port of St. Andrews.  Weather is calling for a bit of change...we'll have to watch...

Cheers,
Dave and Danielle
