Bedwell Harbour to Montague Harbour 2 ¾ hours 13 miles

We took the dinghy over to Poet’s Cove this morning. We each got a latte and then I took Merlin down to the beach to run around while Fred went into the hotel to check his email on their computer. He would have stayed and read the newspaper too but we are heading to Montague Harbour today. It is so nice that everywhere we have been so far has allowed dogs on the beach. Merlin loves to dig holes (yea, like kids don’t do that…) and venture into the shallows looking for the perfect rock or shell. He hasn’t been swimming yet this year. We are kind of curious to see how he’ll do. At least he isn’t afraid of the water. The ride from Bedwell to Montague was very rocky-rolly. Part of it was the wind making 1-2 foot chop and the other was the rather large amount of boats out here leaving their rough wake. We got a nice spot to anchor at Montague and then went out to read and sun bathe. The sky is clear and it made it up to 78 degrees today. I was busy baking blueberry scones and chocolate chip cookies. After dinner I took Merlin & Fred for a sunset cruise in the dinghy. Both my skill and my confidence are improving. Fred still gets a little nervous though.
