Tuesday, June 24, 2025 anchor up at 12:15, destination Young Island. Total miles traveled 4.5. We visited with Peter and Terry, Ocean Cruising Club members. Peter is a “Port Officer.” Officers are a resource to visiting yachts regarding local information. Dan and I walked a bit of the island till the mosquitos were getting to me. Later we had dinner with them at their house.
Wednesday, June 25, 2025, 9:30am departed Young Island for Chandlers Cove in Chester Harbour, arriving 10:45am, traveling 4.5 miles today. We are anchored just off the Chester Golf Club along with Peter and Wendy on s/v Henry.
The four of us went to dinner in Chester, a picturesque sleepy town, at Fo’c’sle, Nova Scotia’s Oldest Pub dating back to the 1760’s. We had such a great time, great food, and conversation. At 9pm were asked to leave as the restaurant, they had actually closed at 8pm. Night caps aboard Henry.
Thursday, June 26, 2025 after several attempts and a few choice words, Dan finally was able to get the water maker running again! It is now producing the best and most water ever.
Cocktails on our boat tonight, then hamburgers at the Chester Yacht Club.
Friday, June 27, 2025 Peter stopped over at 8am. He and Dan investigated a fresh water leak we have. Several quick-disconnect fittings on our hot water heater were leaking. They were all removed and hoses were attached directly to the heater. So far so good!
Departed the anchorage at 10am. Headed towards Deep Cove, in Mahone Bay, to do a “drive by.”
Then over to St. Margarets Bay again.

Owning a boat turns you into a Mr Fixit. Glad you got the water working again. Have fun enjoying all the sites and people you meet.
We are departing our sailboat today and heading by train towards Malon Italy. It was a great week exploring the beautiful bays and cities in Elba and Corsica.
Love you,
Terry

We are enjoying your travel blog again by proxy. Do it while you can and savor all the people, places and experiences! We had a nice surprise visit from John and Joy yesterday, and are delighted to know they will be with you for a couple of weeks — no better ship mates, I’m sure. We are very happy in our new apartment, getting to know some nice new neighbors and, especially, loving being so close to our family. Amy is 2.7 mi. one way and Judy 3.5 the other. The grandkids drop in when available, and we had an impromptu anniversary dinner last night with Gesners and Doug &Deirdre K. Great fun! Keep enjoying safe and interesting travels!! We sure like pretending we’re along for the ride. Patty & Jim T.

Glad you are enjoying your new home, I’m sure leaving the old one was bitter sweet. It will be great being so close to Amy and Judy! We sometimes miss our old neighborhood, lots of memories. John and Joy arrive tomorrow, looking forward to sailing with them again.
