The Grander Scheme: s/v Northern Symphony

Another simple dream...Another crazy notion: To make a sequel to our Grand Scheme by making an extended great loop starting from our home in Nova Scotia. One boat, two so-called adults, one or two children, and one cat.

We have arrived safely in Shelburne, Nova Scotia. After the firedrill yesterday, the rest of the passage was uneventful and fun. We got lucky with the tides and caught the "Cape Sable Express", screaming by making 8 knots over the ground at midnight. Then a couple of hours of slow, but very pleasant sailing while we closed the Shelburne entry and waited for daylight. This is the lighthouse that welcomed us...The night sail was really nice: I could smell the conifer forests and hear the whales breathing! Now we are docked and working through the Customs process...then we sleep!
