Cape Tormentine


Aug 18th Cape Tormentine

The weather forecast looked crappy for the next 4-5 days so we decided to start heading back towards Shediac.  Today's  destination, Cape Tormentine,  was the former ferry terminal before Confederation Bridge was built. It was a 60 mile motor with the wind on the nose the whole way. There were lots of dolphins swimming about. The Northumberland Strait is right full of lobster pots as the season is in full swing in this area so we had to be watchful and play ' dodge pot' all the way. We arrived about 7:30 PM and found the entire inner harbour full of fishing boats so there was no place to park. Rafting would have been an option if we didn't mind moving our boat at 4:30 AM - no thanks! We ended up on the outside wall of the inner harbour which wasn't  stellar as we got slopped around all night  Luckily the winds never exceeded 10 kn so we didn't have to move during the night.
