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.

Yesterday we departed from Barkers at about 10:00. We motored, put up the spinnaker, then motor sailed. The waves grew and the wind increased to 15 to 25 knots. We chugged our way to Rasbery bay, and there we anchored to stay. we rested the night, and then took flight, for Bayfield, where we are today. We ate icecream, and the wind did scream through rigging and flags alike. The wind kept swinging around and we had to rig extra springlines. Scourge has learned to climb up to the cockpit, (and to get sea sick) and we have clipped his leash to a jackline so he won't fall over. Colin installed the cockpit table. It's huge! The weather has cleared up and it is looking nice.
