Kingsland Bay to Westport / Hunter Bay

Added a little motor oil (47 engine hours since departure). 
I repaired the bilge pump. Grease and debris hindered the auto switch operations. 

South winds - very weak.

Bird watching









We are getting short of food! We are heading to Westport motor. I wanted to check out Essex, but Daniele was not into the unknown so we went back to Westport where the village grocery store is within walking distance of the marina which is more than convenient. In addition, the products are fresh and the meat very good. 



As we leave the bay, an armada of steamships also leaves Kingsland going south with us.  We prompt them to blow their steam horns and they comply.  Very nice. 











To stay at the Westport service dock, it's $ 5 / hour and there are always a couple of dock boys to help dock the boat. 

The grocery store was done, we head to Partridge Bay. 

The closer you get, the more you realize that the space is limited because two motor boats have taken possession of the places and have deployed all their toys: mega floating station, kayaks, sea-doo, dinghy motor ... in short it will be noisy! We change our mind and we go back to Hunter Bay, which is next door and much quieter and keep the girlfriend happy.

Then, I (Daniele) have the chance to observe with the glasses of approach an Osprey, an osprey. Perched on the highest branch of a dead tree he devoured the prey he held between his claws. Allan did some photos. 

Meal - New York cut steak, salad, and potatoes. 

Very hot and sweet evening. A dad with his little boy of 3-4 years can ride in a canoe almost without disturbing the surface of the water. 

Rain during the night.
