Baie Fine

Left Killarney with our very first passengers heading to 
Baie Fine. 


Richard’s sister Brenda and her husband Peter enjoying the view from the Pilothouse. Peter wearing my headset hamming it up for the camera. 


Captain and his best mate. 


Baie Fine is a Fjord…3 hour trip from Killarney. 




Beautiful day….beautiful cruising. 



Took us a few tries to get the anchor to hold, just around the corner from The Pool. 


Peter brought cigars….he’s a bad influence. 


Day 2 we all board Alikat for a trip up to The Pool. 




Hike up to Topaz Lake…..we took a wrong turn and missed the turn off so got a few more steps in. 



Beautiful crystalline lake with white and pink quartzite mountains surrounded with lush forest. 


Water was, as we say in Canada, refreshing. 


After cooling off we hiked a little higher for this view of The Pool and the boats anchored below. 


Back to Red Rover




Relaxing, swimming, dinner and card game which I won 😎



Back to Killarney early Saturday morning to drop of these  two characters…..come back anytime. It was a blast.

Wow! What can we say? We had an amazing 3 days on Red Rover with El Capitaine and his first (and only) mate! Beautiful weather and scenery, delicious food, fun games, relaxing reading time, enjoyable trek uphill (both ways) to Lake Topaz (even though we somehow ended up on the 80km loop trail and did at least 46 km before we came across a hiker who told us we were on the wrong trail!!) Okay...maybe 46 km is a slight exaggeration... Anyway, we had a great time cruising with Richard and Therese. Thank you for your awesome hospitality and including us on your adventure. Only an hour and a half from home and yet we felt like we were in another world! Love you both, Brenda and Peter xo

  Yup…New Adventures await us…..Loved every minute!!!  We have listed her with the broker who sold her to us, Gerry Zidner.  You can see her listing on boat dealers.ca.  We are back onboard  after our trip north. We had a nice trip back to Canada 🇨🇦…Lori and Dan’s baby shower had a great turn out…fun visit with my sister Louise and cousin Joanne….cloudy eclipse and celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary. Fellow Loopers taking our picture as they go by the marina while we were away.  Back on the move…..we left Wacca Wache marina in SC on April 13th….waiting for high winds to calm.  4 long days on the move and 4 nights at anchor leave us well positioned to cross the Albemarle Sound and weather conditions are perfect. Our first time going through Coinjock, a stop at their dock and diner at their restaurant. House specialty is Prime Rib that Richard enjoyed and I had the Ribeye….it was very nice. Last stretch going into the outskirts of Norfolk, Virginia.  Crossing mile marker 1 on the

Bahamas, Green Turtle Cay

  We left Titusville Marina on January 6th….beautiful cruising day, lots of dolphins 🐬  We anchored out by Pelican Island for the night… Docked into Fort Pierce Marina for two nights waiting for high winds to pass before moving on.  A nerve racking 15 minutes of “seek immediate shelter tornado warnings in the area” alarms on our phones…scary, but it passed us without incident. Onto West Palm Beach…. Beautiful area, impressive homes….Stupid money 🤑.  We are anchored for the night and set for a 5am departure for our crossing to the Bahamas, West End on Grand Bahamas Island. We arrived by noon….no pictures of our crossing as I spent most of it drugged and below decks feeling green 🤢.  It wasn’t a bad crossing, just a little rolly.  Many boats pulled in after us that day as it was the only weather window permitting the crossing in a while. We spent 4 nights here, pinned down by high winds and rough seas.  It is a very nice area, so we make the best of it. Calm weather on Monday the 15th
