A Wanderer off course.

McCormack's Boardwalk, next to Fisherman's Cove, is a  popular spot for locals to go for a walk here in Eastern Passage. No two walks are the same as fog and tides roll in and out, and the seasons change.   One thing is always the same -- it's a lovely walk.


But the other day, I saw something I'd never seen before.  It was a boat.

A boat.  Not that there aren't lots of boats in the Cove, but most of them aren't stranded on a sandbar.


"The Wanderer" had been stranded there through several tide cycles.


Not sure how it got there.  I guess it would be an understatement to guess that someone miscalculated.


Boy, her keel was buried pretty deep in the sand.


The next day she was gone.

I love it when cool, surprising things happen.
