We depart, finally !

After 2 days of very strong winds (40 knots), we finally got kicked out of St Andrews (thanks BB!) on Sunday afternoon. We arrived in Lubec to clear customs 2 hours later. We spent the night there, then had a wonderful productive day Monday, going all the way to Jonesport. We met a nice guy at the boatyard, who rented us a mooring for the night. But the next day proved difficult, as we tried to cross a bay with a strong west wind, and very steep waves.  We turned into the wind, in the only harbour in this area for safety, Eastern Harbour. Being a small fishing boat harbour, we had to take a mooring suggested by a fisherman, but it was a small one and ended up dragging into another boat !  So we went to another group of boats, where another fisherman suggested a guest mooring, more solid. Thank goodness !  But it did make for a very nervous day overall.  Today, Tuesday, was a lovely day on the other hand, sunny, very little wind, so we made it all the way to Bar Harbour, where we will stay at least for a day.

On est finallement partis !  On s'est rendu a Lubec pour voir les douaniers, qui nous ont laisser passé.  Le lendemain, tres belle température, alors on s'est rendu jusqu'a Jonesport, ou on a passé la nuit dans un petit port tranquille. Mais le lendemain, la brise a monté et on a eu de la difficulté a maneuvrer, et on s'est demandé quoi faire. Mais j'avais trouvé un petit port de pecheurs a l'ouest, alors on a trouvé refuge la, pour la nuit. Apres cette peur, on a bien mérité la belle journée d'aujourdhui, beau soleil et peu de vent pour se rendre a Bar Harbour, ou on va se la couler douce pour une journée de plus.
