We had a lazy start and left to motor down to Challenger Cove some 18 miles from our last anchorage. The route took us through a rattle....and a tickle. A tickle is a narrow slot between two pieces of land and a rattle is where the current roars through a cut. In this case the rattle increased our speed from 5.5 knots to 9! Trish was in fine form and spotted 3 bears in separate locations on the way! Nancy and Tom are running neck a neck second and I have yet to score. Sadly I doubt I will as tomorrow we are heading into the town of Nain where I shall have to leave the boat to head to UK to visit my aged Mum. I hope the blog will continue with the others taking over. Also I shall try and get some photos up soon. Not sure what the internet is like in Nain so it may be a when I get back to UK but I will try and get the polar bear pics up at least.
