June 26 Gore Bay to Eagle Island 26.1 NM

Published by Kip at 7:33 pm under Uncategorized

We were at the farmers market and then the fish man, this year actually women, just after they opened. The farmers market was a disappointment because of the late spring, and I did not buy a thing. At the Purvis fish truck I bought enough Lake Trout fillets for us all and also a pound of smoked white fish. We went back to the boats to leave and then disaster struck.  When I was taking  the shore power cord off it hit my cell phone and I watched it sink to the bottom in 8 feet of water. I was able to retrieve it with a net from the marina office, but I fear the damage has been done. We left at 1100 and soon caught up to Windchaser who had been motoring slowly into the moderate N wind. So far the wind gods have not been kind to us as there has either been no wind or wind on the nose. We anchored at our favorite spot at Eagle without difficulty, dropped the dinghy and went looking for blueberries and fresh water clams. The were NO ripe blueberries and we only found 5 clams. To make matters worse the place we usually have a shore cookout was underwater. It was late anyway so we decided to cook the Lake Trout on board. The N wind died as the sun dropped, and we had a quiet night at anchor.

    I found Gore Bay but no Eagle Island near it on Google Map or Mapquest. Sorry about your cell phone, no ripe blueberries, clams and underwater cookout.

    I love blueberries – best ones I ever had was a farm actually called Blueberrry Farm in Portland, Oregon where we lived for five years.

    Are there eagles on Eagle Island?

    Happy Safe Sailing!
