We shifted to local time, Atlantic Daylight Time, UTC-3. We lounged around all morning, mostly trying to catch up with accumulated emails. We pulled away from the wharf at Baddeck at 1515 local and motored down into the Bras d'Or Lakes. I had thought that we could practice sailing, but the crew had little appetite for that. I found a small bay with two branches, protected on all sides, that on the chart looked like a good anchorage. There was a small boat anchored in one of the branches. We could not get our anchor to hold in the other branch, so around 1900 we anchored not far from the other boat in the center of River Cove at 45° 52’N 60° 58.9’W. There was excellent holding, and it proved to be a fine anchorage thru almost 180° of wind shift.
