The Next Odyssey: Port Bickerton - the Canadian Coast Guard Station
http://bridlewilde.blogspot.com/2011/10/port-bickerton-canadian-coast-guard.html
Thursday, 13 October 2011. Port Bickerton - the Canadian Coast Guard Station. I have to say that the Eastern Shore is not our most desired sail grounds of our province. I have to say in its defence however, that the time of year that we were sailing was also not the most desired time to be out on the water in a small vessel trying to course over a large distance. I also have to say that the effects of unstable fall weather conditions on the area did have an impact on our opinion. They kept an eye on her ...

The Next Odyssey: ........so, so much......Way Beyond Our Prospect...............
http://bridlewilde.blogspot.com/2011/10/so-so-muchway-beyond-our-prospect.html
Friday, 14 October 2011. So, so much.Way Beyond Our Prospect. It was a wonderfully warm and bright morning when we glided out into the Atlantic Ocean from Three Fathoms Harbour. We were anxious about the day; we knew it was to be definitive; we were expecting to cruise past the Halifax Harbour. Once that waypoint was reached we knew we would be approaching the outer perimeter of a new point of reference for our whole trip. We would be heading into the area known as the South Shore of Nova Scotia. We reco...

The Next Odyssey: HOORAY!!!! We're Home! Gold River Marina, Chester Basin, Mahone Bay, NS
http://bridlewilde.blogspot.com/2011/10/hooray-were-home-gold-river-marina.html
Monday, 17 October 2011. Gold River Marina, Chester Basin, Mahone Bay, NS. What a day today was to be! One of those days that one houses in the deep recesses of one’s memory forever. It was Day 58 of our Down East Route journey. It was Thanksgiving Day, Monday, October 10. And it was a day for thanksgiving – because today was the day we arrived at our final destination – Gold River Marina, Bridlewilde’s new Atlantic homeport. Susannah was on board. We were not awake early. Especially those back channels ...

The Next Odyssey: Three Fathoms Harbour
http://bridlewilde.blogspot.com/2011/10/three-fathoms-harbour.html
Thursday, 13 October 2011. The captain and I have been to Three Fathoms Harbour before but this would be the first time by boat. We`ve been there to watch surfers ride the swell, to watch the sun set over the Atlantic, to watch the herring and tuna boats offload, to watch the sea roll in a windstorm, to watch people and there just to watch as the day unfolds. It is a gem of a harbour as far as we are concerned. We arrived close to 6 pm and tied up to the government wharf. There are no other services.

The Next Odyssey: Three Days in Sheet Harbour Passage
http://bridlewilde.blogspot.com/2011/10/three-days-in-sheet-harbour-passage.html
Thursday, 13 October 2011. Three Days in Sheet Harbour Passage. Travelling with the current and ebbing tides along the St Lawrence River, the Gulf and the Northumberland Strait had spoiled us. We were conditioned to relatively swift passages that were generally made within the ETA’s we had set for ourselves in our sail plans. And here on the Eastern Shore we were ever hopeful, each time we returned to the boat to move on with the next leg of the journey, that the next piece would follow suit. The darknes...

The Next Odyssey: Captive in Chandler
http://bridlewilde.blogspot.com/p/captive-in-chandler.html
The run to Chandler was a rush! In more ways than one. We departed at 2pm from Ste. Therese expecting a 5 hour trip. We had no problems with the propeller shaft, in fact, we noticed that it worked better than ever. The wind was in our favour and we sailed offshore at an average of 8 knots for the just under 3 hours it took us to get there. And it turned out to be a beautiful day. We radioed in to the harbourmaster on the VHF. Annie, the harbourmaster, answered back to say that she could see us approaching.

The Next Odyssey: This Blog……Life Long Learning…..My Ramblings........ Dedicated to Stan and Laura Hunziger
http://bridlewilde.blogspot.com/2011/10/this-bloglife-long-learningmy-ramblings.html
Monday, 17 October 2011. This Blog……Life Long Learning….My Ramblings. Dedicated to Stan and Laura Hunziger. There were a number of reasons why we decided to host this blog of our journey. I learned early, as a young child, that I am most excited and most satisfied when my life, my good fortune, my experiences, my possessions, and all that I have, are shared. I cannot and do not imagine my life evolving in any other way. I will admit however, the primary reason to host this blog was somewhat selfish.

The Next Odyssey: The Head of Jeddore
http://bridlewilde.blogspot.com/2011/10/head-of-jeddore.html
Thursday, 13 October 2011. The Head of Jeddore. We departed Sheet Harbour Passage on Tuesday Sept 27 in the morning with all systems aboard running as though they were brand spanking new. We had been anchored for the past three nights in the lovely little harbour. The weather for the past two days had been perfect sailing conditions, just as predicted, warm and calm with light winds. But we have learned early that we cannot sail without being patient. Now it hosts a large automatic light and the historic...
