A friend from Halifax gave a call this morning. He had been talking about joining the passage much earlier on however his long time partner was diagnosed with lung cancer and has passed only recently. He is considering taking a bus to Port Hawkesbury which is only hours away from Halifax by vehicle (22 hours of so on Makina).

It would be nice to be able to have some cloth up to actually sail into Halifax. A second pair of hands would be handy with that. It looks like the wind will likely be from the SW which would be on our front starboard quarter... a respectable tack.
