The wind had died in the night yet not the swell. We were well tossed in our bunks. Suggested to Pierre that it was good sea training.
To prove the point of our bad choice of anchorage a fishing charter made a strait beeline for us while having morning coffee on deck to ensure we weren't in any trouble.
Her captain claimed in his 60 years he had not seen our open cove anchorage used for naught other than lobster posts.
We eventually set sail heading around the side of the island which we hadn't past and made our way to the mooring ball in Lunenburg again.
Once back in port we relaxed and suppered on a curry; after which Pierre caught up on his social media while my nose was buried in Lord of The Rings Trilogy which is my reading at the moment. The online game LOTRO has brought it alive for me again and it has been so long since reading it aloud to my daughter that there seems a newness to it.
It was not long before nodding off with my reading and a nicely un-tossed and uninterrupted eight hour sleep!

Sounds like local lore knows about the swell.
I had a giddy moment there, I was distracted at the beginning of the video by beer and pizza and forgot to check whether the dinghy was still there. What a relief when it appeared at the end.
There was a scary episode in Shelburne, when if the wind had been blowing from the west the dingy would have ended up in Europe. 😂
Yes, that's why I was anxious! 😂
Greetings @novacadian ,
What a wild adventure....I might have had to stay long enough to catch a lobster or two....but without sleep...it would have been pointless.
Happy to hear you did get a good night's sleep ....invisible assistance but immensely assisting.
Kind Regards,
Bleujay
One needs take caution with the lobster pots. A fisherman called me out on channel 16 for simply using a passage in their vacinity. 😊
