It was a tranquil morning back in The Pool. We all wanted to get an early start so we were busy pulling up anchor by 7 a.m. It took quite a while to accomplish this task as the anchor chains are full, and I mean full, of weeds. And the only to get them off is by pulling them off by hand, or with the boat hook. We finally were on our way and navigating slowly through the rocks to leave The Pool and return to deeper water in Baie Fine. We were almost out when RUNNING ERINS radioed that they had run aground. We waited while they threw out their anchor so Ron could dive and take a look. He reported back that one of the props was seriously bent. Luckily they have twin engines and a bow thruster so could still proceed and navigate the tricky spots.
Our little group hung together and limped the 25 miles to Little Current where there are facilities to lift their boat and work on the prop.
We all waked up to The Anchor Inn for dinner.
Prime rib was the special so several of us ordered it. And guess what, it came covered in brown gravy!! Afterwards we walked down the dock and happened upon and ice cream shop. Ross got the last of this flavor in his cone so asked for the bucket. (and a spoon) Hey, you don’t ask, you don’t get!
