13.   It's Canada Day and the weather is just beautiful with no wind and clear sunny skies. What better way to spend it then out on Placentia Bay. After a couple weeks getting Captain H's newer larger boat seaworthy we finally launched it Friday evening in preparation for our first run the following morning.

12.   Saturday morning Captain H. and I fired up the good ol' Yamaha Enduro 40 and headed out of Southern Harbour towards Long Island out in the middle of Placentia Bay.

9.   Our destination was Haystack where we would stop at Tom & Linda's summer cabin for lunch.

8.   We had a dandy sandwich and explored the resettled community for an hour or so, then hopped back in the boat. We headed up along the shore of Long Island checking out each cove as we neared closer to the head of the island.

7.   After we rounded the head, we continued across the bay to Brule where we stopped to chat with an old Skipper for a bit, and had a look around the old stores and wharves.

3.   We left Brule and headed back to Long Island to Spencer's Cove, where many people have built summer cabins in the old resettled fishing village.

2.   Like Haysack and other island communities, Spencer's Cove is a beautiful, , seasonal, quiet community. After chatting with a couple of the cabin owners, we left Spencer's Cove, turned back around the head of Long Island and headed back across the bay home to Southern Harbor.

1.   It was a great day on the water, smooth sailing with the winds below 5km/h, the sun was bright and the boat worked very well on its maiden voyage.
