We had lunch at CIBC yesterday... they have been open only two days and have reduced (and spaced out) their seating, but were well attended. Nice to be back there... such a great view from the restaurant and from the boat. Never very well protected, but the reward is a panoramic view of the channel.

This has been a great place to paddleboard. The way the wind wraps around both ends of Manchioneel bay creates kind of a wind "half pipe". As you approach Quart-a-Nancy and Cistern rock, the headwind increases, but in between the wind is pretty light and you can even exploit the swirl by varying the distance from shore. I did two laps of the bay.

Today will be another day of motoring upwind to Leverick, hopefully for Valentine's day dinner in the main restaurant. Oddly, we have never eaten in the main restaurant though we have been to LB dozens of times. After that, we should have some nice sailing opportunities.
