The Spit

We left our mooring buoy in Montague at 10:35am bound for Sidney Spit.  13.60nm later at 1:45pm we arrived and tied up to a mooring buoy.  Sidney Spit is a 1 mile long sand spit connected to Sidney Island extending north.  At low tide the whole spit is exposed but at high tide the middle of the spit is covered by water.  When you are anchoring at low tide it feels somewhat protected but at high tide you look out across to the USA with not much in your way.  It’s a fun place to anchor and the sand beaches are awesome to explore.

We took off in the dinghy to explore the spit and surrounding island.  At the beach we spent time throwing rocks at floating wood (trying to see who could hit it first) searching for sea glass, building driftwood forts and walking the beach. 

As the sun went down Skylar and I took the dinghy out for some fishing.  We stayed out until well after sunset having “guy talk”.  The sunset was awesome that night!
