Port of Sidney to Bedwell Harbor (Poet’s Cove) 1
hour 10.5 miles
Fred got up early to return the rental car while I prepared
for departure. I still really don’t have
the boat as organized as I would have liked.
The weather is mostly sunny and the water is calm. It is a very short trip to Poet’s Cove. While we were in Bounday Pass Fred ran the
engines up to 2800 rpm (WOT) and our speed jumped to 19 kts. We quickly brought the speed and rpm back
down to save fuel but it is nice to know we can go that speed if
necessary. Fred looked up Poet’s Cove on
the web last night and found out that the marina has a special going on. Usually the price for a slip is $1.40-$1.50
per foot (we are 57 feet!) now there is a mid-week special of $46/for 2
nights. This is too good to pass
up. Usually we anchor out here but the
dock is practically empty and it is fun to bring Merlin up to the beach to
play.
We went to the Aurora restaurant for
steak and prawn dinner. We had to wear
our jackets but it was a beautiful evening and we sat outside on the balcony
and watched the sunset. By the time we
were back on the boat at 8:30 pm the heavens opened up and the rain poured
down. We were safe and warm.
