On Sunday we headed back to our favorite anchorage near the Shelburne Bay Mooring Field as the wind was changing directions. We ended up with nine other Canadian sailboats anchored with us. We timed our walk on the trail through the woods to arrive at Cucina Antica, a European bistro at 4 pm when they opened. We have rarely gone out for dinner on this cruise so we thoroughly enjoyed the eggplant Parmesan and the Greek chicken with artichokes, olives and feta cheese along with salad and bread and a wonderful chianti wine.

On Monday, we set an alarm to be up and over to Shelburne Farms Inn for breakfast. Luckily they were not busy and they were insisting on reservations as they had doubled their business since last summer. We hiked back on the Butternut Loop Trail and then came back to the boat to do boat chores getting ready to haul out on Wednesday,
