With plenty of good memories of Lahave, we were on our way we slowly motored back out the river at 1030 and were on our way to Lunenburg.
At 1130 we were able to shut down the yanmar and carry on under sail for the remainder of the trip. WE re-started the yanmar outside the Lunenburg breakwater and headed into the Mooring field. WE attempted to call ahead to book a mooring but were unable to raise anyone on the phone or via VHF. The mooring we had grabbed last time was available so we headed over to grab it. Another sailboat had followed us in and crazy as it might seem when they saw us heading for the mooring they gunned their engine in an attempt to get there first, or at least it sure seemed that way to us. We didn’t race but proceeded to the mooring and picked it up. The other boat veered off and decided to anchor, after searching for another mooring to no avail. We watched as his 1st anchoring attempt failed and he pulled up what looked like a wheel barrow full of weeds and rope. He was successful on the second try so no worries.
It was around 1530 by the time we had Rose Lee secured in Lunenburg so we decided to head up town for a walk and some sightseeing. We had dinner at the Grand Banker overlooking the water and our server was good enough to bring us up to date on what was happening in Lunenburg as far as live entertainment. Apparently the Fish Factory Ice House lounge was hosting an open mic session the following evening, excellent looks like we will spend another day in Lunenburg. Oh and the international dory races were being held on August 23rd so maybe will catch that too.
With our exercise and appetite satisfied we headed back to the boat to enjoy an evening in the cockpit with the beautiful lights of Lunenburg for our entertainment.
