HOW TO NAVIGATE THIS BLOG:


We enjoy sharing our lifestyle with our family, friends, and others. So COME ON OUT and "let's get on with it". You only have an opportunity to live once. For those of you who do not choose to get away, feel free to travel vicariously via this blog.

This is primarily a blog of photographs, of our travels. Our blogging time is limited by our activities, so we figure a photograph is worth a thousand words. You may click on the photos to enlarge them.

There is only one Post per page. You can access earlier posts by clicking on the link below and to the right, or by going to the "archive" which is found below the current post.

The "Relevant Links" will take you to sites showing our current location, the weather conditions that we are experiencing, some of our favorite ports of call, and information related to our boat. When using the SPOT link, to see where we are, click on "satellite" tab to get a photo of the area (takes a while to load).

If you must have more then you may also follow the links to our "Earlier Blogs".

Enjoy

Sampsonville Harbour to St. Peter's, Nova Scotia

Tuesday, August 28th, 2012

Sunrise over Sampsonville Harbour (behind Beaver Island), on the Bras d'Or Lakes: 



Lobster season is over --- so, using a wharf crane, a prefabricated cabin is lifted onto the lobster boat so that the family can enjoy good times together during the rest of the boating season --- next Spring it will just be lifted back off so the boat can once again become a work boat:

 
The north end of the St. Peter's canal.  The lock is in the distance - just around the bend.  The bridge rotates on a just off center axis when the boats need to pass:
 

 
We were able to tie "Evergreen" to the canal bulkhead while we waited out some poor weather.  This allowed us to get off the boat and take walks despite the rain:

 
The wind and the rain prevented most picture taking, during our walks, however I could not resist this one:
