From the Helm of Adamant 1 (a note) – January 2017

Adamant 1

Jan 10, 2016

Remember I told you the story of how the dolphin guided us into an anchorage in 2008? We had though that so spooky, for lack of a better word. Well the pic here of the dolphin beside the boat was the same thing.

I kept getting a spray of water on me and finally I looked over the side of the boat to see why as there wasn’t any waves. And there was the dolphin, trying to get my attention by spraying me. After I took the pic, I checked the chart plotter and sure enough, we were just outside of the dredged channel…inside the markers, but not quite in the deep water. I moved the boat over into the deep water, went back to take more pics and he was gone. His job was done. So there are dolphins that are Adamant 3assigned to look after foolish sailors!

Amazing. Cheers. Lynn

Canada’s Superior: the North Shore

Story and photos by Jennifer M. Smith

We’d been north before on a short two-week cruise. At the time, we were unprepared for the isolation, the lack of cell phone coverage, and the spotty VHF reception. Since then we’ve repowered, installed Starlink, and retired from work. Now, with confidence in our engine and our connectivity and more time to sail, we were Superior-ready.
