Trip to Cape Breton

Unfortunately no wind - so we motored/sailed across the Madeline gulf to Cap St Lawrence at the tip of Cape Breton.   While motoring we did see a 30ft gray whale about 10 feet from our bow,  who surfaced and swam under our boat - very nice!

Cap St Lawrence,  unknown to us until we entered it,  was a place we had visited years ago and held some special memories for us.  Another nice surprise.

Next day again we motored along the east coast enjoying the scenery - no wind but a lovely day.  We were taken by the pink cliffs that ended with the pink sand beaches.   We have arrived in Baddeck and secured to a mooring ball off the beach with views of the village and sailing community.

Tomorrow our friend Kathy will meet up with us for a little visit, which we are looking forward to - and then my cousin Bill and his children,   Shannon and Gavin join us for a couple of weeks on our trip through the lakes and east coast to Halifax.
