Isabel Bay to Squirrel Cove

10 miles 1 ½ hours
Undoing a stern tie is easy. You just cut loose one end and roll it up from the other. You have no idea what kind of flora and fauna get attached to the line. This stuff has to be removed before it gets wound onto the reel. We keep the line on a reel meant for garden hose. The day starts out overcast with a temperature of 60. We started the water maker to top off the tank. Normally it only takes 10 minutes for the system to be producing clear drinking water. For some reason we were not able to get acceptable water from the system today even though it seemed to be working fine. Another crisis?? Fred placed all new filters in the system last month. We were going to anchor out in Squirrel Cove but I thought we could tie up at the dock and get laundry done and fill the water tanks. Well, there is power on the dock but no water. Fred is going to have to work on the water system now. The fun never stops… They have a lovely gift shop, a grocery store and a restaurant here. Fred took me out to dinner tonight. The sun came out around 1 PM and the temps are in the 70’s. We had a table on the deck looking out at the cove. Fred’s prawns were excellent but my steak was half gristle. We commented on this to the server and the chef took my dinner off of the bill. Maybe we will return.
