Sun 10 Sept

Forecast for high winds mean we are staying here for several days. I walked six -SIX - miles to see the lighthouse on the tip of Cape Sable, even though I couldnt actually get to it, as it's on an offshore bit of very low land. Strange to see the sea we sailed through over 3 months ago in a gale - today it was quite calm, despite the forecast.

With the dodgy knee moaning and various tendons coming out in sympathy, I thumbed a lift back to the boat with a very kind man called Ken. I pay for these trips with the tale of the summer, which suits both sides.

J did hamburgers for supper. I said how nice it was to be cooked for. J leered - so he should, having been cooked for all summer!

I finished the last of the dinner party bottles of wine. Shame,
