Thursday Aug 10 - The end of the voyage

On Thursday morning we had a big breakfast at the marina's cantine then while Jim prepared the boat for shipping I stayed in contact with the driver of the boat transporter and tried to make arrangements to get home, not an easy feat from Trois Rivieres. By 1445 the boat was loaded on to the truck and Jim and I were on our way to the airport in Montreal.

By 2130 we were home in Halifax; Sapphira will arrive on Friday night.

"Sapphira" will be launched into the clear waters of St. Margaret's Bay on Monday or Tuesday, as soon as we've convinced ourselves that the sterntube is O.K. The carburetor will be removed and returned to Shelburne Shipyards and the original wil be installed. Then we have to clean, sand and oil the teak, and scrub the hull again. We'll fix the remaining problems and enjoy sailing on St. Margaret's Bay.

Thank you for following along.
