The night was very calm and so is he morning. No wind, rain and dense fog….!  We do not see further than 75 meters.  Some of us take the compulsory morning swim, we have breakfast and we set off.  Early we think but we “lost an hour” due to our being on Canadian time here.  10 o’clock we leave and motor out in he mist. 

Most of the day we use the “Penta genua” but we manage to put in somehours of sailing with a wind in from almost dead stern.  Genua is enough under such conditions.  Eventually we hit Liverpool some 50 miles up.  This is a tiny place, 2200 inhabitants but features a River Mersey just like the original. The local paper mill shut down some years ago and just about “killed the place (according to the cab driver).  It was a replaces by a junk yard that demolishes ship, so the proud naval vessel welcoming us turned out to have been decommissioned and was being scrapped..  When we land it has finally cleared up and we have a nice evening at the not gigantic Brooklyn Marina and dinner at the “Lance Privateer”, a robust “family-Sunday-dinner” kind of place, where we eat well.  Wie about distances we use a taxi back and forth.
