Bringing Cape Horn weather with us to Lunenburg
The Schooner Maggie B docked in Lunenburg at 11h00 on May 10th. We are back after 38,400 NM. We beat the gale in. It is supposed to blow 45 knots tonight. We brought Cape Horn weather with us, though they say that this is typical “spring” weather here.
We were met by all the horns on all the ships in the harbor blowing. There was also cannon fire, which was a little scary, but supposedly they were firing blanks.
We are waiting for the Federales to drive down from Halifax. Then we’ll rest up for the welcome party tonight. Fortunately the party site is only 100 feet from the boat. They have, unfortunately, canceled the fireworks due to the prospect of high winds, dense fog and heavy rain.
We wish all our shipmates and family we here to celebrate with us.
All is well.
