Overnight stop Lockport

After a night and morning of rain, fog and slight variable winds, decided to make harbour at Lockport, to refuel and catch up on some sleep, before making the crossing over the Gulf of Maine for the North Eastern US coast. It was an interesting entrance to make in the fog, blind not even seeing the cans on entrance and relying soly on the Canadian Nautical charts and GPS for entrance through shallow shoals and breaking rocks. Thank goodness for our colleagues in St John's lending us his comprehensive charts of the southeastern Nova Scotia or the entrance would not be possible. A nice day, albeit overcast, although promising favourable easterly winds and the warmer weather of the more southern latitudes Next Stop Plymouth
