August 4 - Pitt Island - Monckton Inlet

A bumpy ride down Principe Channel in the morning brings us to Monckton Inlet. The sea was following and most of it was tide, so it was not to bad (A bit of surfing!) Once inside Monckton, we found a tiny bit of a bay that just held our three boats. We were protected from every wind inside this little bay. The only problem was the ditch we came through to get in, we scouted it at low tide and Dave would not have been able to get out at low tide due to shallowness.
We had a fabulous meal on Sambuca of Beef Bourginois with cards and off to bed.

In the morning, we were completely fogged in and it was on this day that Wayne and Cathy were hailed by Coast Guard to call home. Our sympathies on the passing of your mom. Wayne and Cathy left us that morning in the fog to head to Shearwater to start their long journey back to Cape Breton for the Funeral. See you in a week to ten days!
