More North Channel and Beyond

After Killarney we anchored in Portage Cove. This is a don’t miss place even if there are a lot of boats there is plenty of room. We anchored next to a 100ft plus “real yacht” as Pat says, one that has a PAID CREW. Aside, we saw the same boat 3 more times this season.

Next anchorage was Baie Fine, another don’t miss place. This is where I got the picture of the full-grown bear swimming across the bay. I should have taken a picture of Pat, as she got hysterical that the bear was going to eat us or something. The picture of the bear is on the web site.

Great Circle Cruise 2008

Greetings from THE WIFE......

Well here we sit Day 6 at the marina in Geneva/Waterloo, NY--It is cloudy- really overcast and cool--really cool. Today I listened to NOAA and Senor Seafog as he is known aboard CC Rider (but that's a story for another day) announced that the temperatures would "struggle" to reach 60.

Not sure when we'll leave because the boat is being hateful. This morning at 4 am I awoke to a beeping sound. Mind you I was sound asleep with ear plugs securely in place and I could hear the beeping distinctly over Charles' sleeping noises. I said, "Charles, I hear beeping" He sits straight up and begins feeling for his glasses, jumps out of bed and lo and behold, the sound is emanating from the galley. The refrigerator is trying to die..NO!!! this can't be, I spent all day cooking and putting the food in the freezer..I hate to cook, I only do it so we can eat, which I rather enjoy. I notice the beeping has stopped and I am so relieved.....Darn! it only stopped because the power has been turned off. Charles comes back to bed and announces that the refrigerator is dead. I do not respond.
