We grab a quick anchorage to investigate some engine noise and Dan dives on the prop. We then sail for the town of Mahone Bay for the night. The next day we ...

alright guys so we had some weird engine

noise last night and we're worried that

it might be something wrapped around the

prop so I stood it up I'm gonna dive in

and check it out

mm-hm so wish me luck

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

last time when sailing Bella Chandra we

sailed into st. margarets bay anchored

out at troupe Island and we had our

first injury of the trip

[Music]

I realized there was nothing wrapped

around the prop which led me to

investigating the engine and prop shaft

directly I discovered that our stuffing

box was the source of the noise and just

needed a little grease

[Music]

so how much space is under the keel

right now few feet like six feet all

right

yep ready all right nice this is how we

bathe here on balachander nice now we're

all clean and refreshed the water here

is pretty nice I like that you can see

the bottom I'll clean some boat beard so

we're just coming into Nova Scotia

the seals in the water we're gonna go in

there and try and find either a mooring

or an anchorage whatever we can manage

we had a little bit of a struggle

getting a relaxed Anchorage because we

had a depth of two we had like two feet

under the keel and at one minute we had

like one foot under the keel and we

really thought and then zero it's very

shallow we have eleven point two feet

below us right now and we're heading for

that boring field which could be less

but there's lots of boats our size over

there so we're getting a bit of crack

and we grabbed a mooring yeah hook dry

first morning today she nailed it dude

he put the dinghy in the water and came

ashore and that's us out there that you

can see no equal we're the tallest mass

but still I know you can see it's way

out there but yeah it's kind of shallow

like when the tides out there's like two

feet under our keel and that's it so

fingers cross but we're not the only

fine yeah we'll be fine

oh yeah no worried yesterday was worse

oh yeah what happened that I danced

I fell in the chain Locker you did what

now I fell in the chain Locker

[Laughter]

it was super dark I couldn't see

anything and I just had my little

flashlight like this big and we were

anchoring in like really shallow water

and I was really concentrated on the

anchor and I backed away from the anchor

to hit the buttons to drop the anchor

and just walking back backwards with no

light

[Music]

we just left the home bank back there

behind us and we were trying to decide

between going to Lunenburg or to another

island with a beach and all that and

based on the weather and the fact that

we're already in my home Bay Area we

picked out an island and we're gonna go

try and anchor there tonight and

hopefully that goes well we'll get some

more swimming in and tomorrow we'll go

to Luneberg we have to buy a new weather

vane we can probably find a weather vane

and Luneberg they have that kind of

thing there so check this out guys all

beach

and it's all deserted this is our first

deserted island anchoring we're on this

little tiny island it's completely

deserted nobody lives here there's this

beautiful beach that goes the whole

length of the island and the way the

wind is blowing we found a nice little

protected spot to drop our anchor and

we're here so I'm gonna show you guys

how we did it all right so as you can

see here's our anchor right there we

dropped our anchor way over there in

front of that point just like off the

edge where it's still a bit deep and we

have deep water all here and the wind's

blowing this way the direction of the

waves towards our bow and pretty soon

I'm sure but will straighten out here

we're in about 30 feet of water maybe 25

30 and if our bow swings back it'll just

put it back in here and that's all

fairly deep water so we made this

decision that even though there's a good

onshore wind blowing from on that side

we can get a pretty quiet spot here with

less waves so that's what we chose and

then we can access the beach like really

easily it's a beautiful beach this is

what it's all about guys

[Music]

to lay in front of me my historians pick

apart the things far ways all my travels

here far and wide

the official objection that's really

good it's been

[Music]

[Music]

what you're doing there yeah and what's

for dinner

barbecue oh yeah

skewers up on the barbecue cbq on the

CBP that's right nice looks good

barbecue skewers it's on there onion

green zucchini yellow zucchini mushrooms

cherry tomatoes salt pepper and just a

sprinkle of olive oil that's great

the perfect meal for the perfect

Anchorage it really is a perfect day
