1000 Islands in one day (before it was one night)

One of the most beautiful parts of the St. Lawrence River is the 1000 Islands. We missed the chance to enjoy this beauty when we motor-sailed up the river and passed them at night, unable to find an anchorage in shallow and turbulent waters. This time we approached 1000 Islands in the morning, in a hurry to escape from stormy weather, greetings from hurricane Fiona.

Rainy Day sailing

Portsmouth Olympic Harbour meets us with armada young sailors, racing despite of rainy day

Finally, Fiona met us near Kingstone – not so badly as in Atlantic Canada, rather just with rain and wind. The passage from Stella Bay to Brockey Bay on Wolf Island was a challenge, mostly due to activities on water near Kingston and low visibility due to rain.

Good Bye, Waupoos!

The last sunrise in Waupoos… for us

It’s time to sail back St.Lowrance River to our place for hauling – Crysler marina, near Morrisburg. The weather forecast is not so good, in the aftermath of the landfall of hurricane Fiona in Nova Scotia, but we have to rush to be in time for hauling. The late September brings some chilling in the morning and the sun now rises much South.

We are leaving Waupoos on the lovely sunny day, rising all sails on Spallpeen

Course NbyE to Stella Bay on the Amherst Island!
