May 17th


We have been in Roche Harbor since Wednesday. The weather here has just been glorious. Sunny, warm, almost hot. The main reason we are here is that Friday and Saturday was a gathering of over 90+ Grand Banks boats like ours. There were seminars, food, visiting and lots of fun. Today most everyone left to go home. We are lucky we get to keep going. Tomorrow we travel all of about 4 miles to a favorite anchorage of ours called Reid Harbor. Margaret and I enjoy being on the anchor more so than being at a dock. We will probably be there two nights. We have an inflatable rubber boat and will use that to go ashore on this island. There are some gravel roads and a long walk out to a lighthouse. We will enjoy the exercise. It is supposed to be a bit windy Tuesday and during the night, so we will tuck in close to the shore to avoid the SW winds of about 20 knots. This is a nice muddy bottom so the anchor sticks real well there. Above is a picture of the Grand Banks boats all lined up.
