Prinyer's Cove... on our way across the lake

20 September 2011 | Prince Edward County
Well we left Picton and decided that the Murray Canal route might not work out. There are some pretty shallow sections in the Bay of Quinte but the biggest issue we might encounter would be the weedy Presquile Bay as we exit the Murray Canal. We decided that since we've already done all the Canadian ports (although many years ago) that we would go back out to Prinyer's COve for the night and then head to Little Sodus (USA). That means today will be a whole three hours of travel!
We arrived at Prinyer's Cove where we need to anchor. The wind predictions are for southwest winds and then switching to southeast. We anchored close to the south shore so Murphy's law sets in and the wind comes from the Northwest. So far we haven't gone aground but we are hovering about 50 feet from shore in 7 feet of water. We need 6 feet of water to stay afloat. We're so close that if the home owner came out into his backyard I am certain we could have a normal conversation. I suppose I could move but what would be the fun in that. Tomorrow will be a long day. It will take me ten or twelve hours to get to Little Sodus so tonight we will cook our Waupoos lamb and then go to bed early. I need to get moving by 7:00am tomorrow.
