Preparing for an offshore passage


We are going offshore tomorrow but not far. Canadian rules require that we sail to international waters in order to return and re-set our permit to keep Shimshal in Canada another year. But, before we depart, we have to take a trip to Halifax to each get a CAN$190 PCR test in order to leave and re-enter Canada. So today we are in Halifax and tomorrow we will sail (though no wind is forecast) to the international waters before returning with the Q flag flying to Lunenburg Yacht Club to meet with CBSA.
