It&#8217;s the second largest town in this island province, the smallest in Canada with only around 150,000 inhabitants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingtruenorth.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nebo-Day-36-300x276.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1203\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a calm, warm, sunny day in welcome contrast to the day before, even if we had to motor sail the whole way to make time. We relaxed, dried out, and caught up on rest, reading, blogging, etc. Of course, you always have to keep a close watch. Lobster season is officially over in most of the Canadian Maritimes. However, there are still a few lingering pots to avoid. Getting tangled in lobster pot lines is a big problem, and doesn&#8217;t make you friends with the lobstermen. This will be a big topic when we eventually get to Maine where there is no seasonal limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the official translator for several weeks in Qu\u00e9bec, Dan is now off duty as we&#8217;re back in predominately English-speaking Canada. The welcome in PEI was as warm as in Qu\u00e9bec. Mark, the manager of Summerside Yacht Club, offered us beer samples while we filled out our registration forms, gave us a personal tour of the marina facilities, and lots of good suggestions for our visit. We had dinner dockside at the club food truck (yes, the kitchen unfortunately was out of service following a fire). It was a nice, relaxing evening, catching up with Jon and Cheri and sharing stories of the last two days of sailing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"1204\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingtruenorth.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_1840-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1204\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Drying out after a day spent being wet<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"1208\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingtruenorth.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_1841-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1208\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Catching up on much needed rest<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"1205\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingtruenorth.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_1843-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1205\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Cape Egmont and iron-rich rock<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"1207\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingtruenorth.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_8777-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1207\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Entrance to Summerside Harbor<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"1206\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingtruenorth.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_1847-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1206\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Tied up at Summerside Yacht Club<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A sunny, relaxing day crossing from New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1207,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2023-down-east-circle-route"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1202"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1202\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4912,"href":"https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1202\/revisions\/4912"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
