Day 122: Killarney to Mary Ann Cove in Baie Fine
Day 122: Monday, August 15th: Yesterday we cleaned the new brown moustache off Integrity's hull; she looked good this morning!
We were moored at the Sportsman's Inn Marina; they were expecting a rendezvous of Hatteras Yachts today - twenty-two of them:

We went for another great fish and chips lunch and finally got underway. We enjoyed more pretty weather, quartz-filled granite hills and pretty blue water:
We turned into Baie Fine (pronounced "Bay Fin"). This bay becomes very narrow and looks much like a fjord:
