Nova Scotia
We spent a wonderful week with Phil and Beth in Nova Scotia this summer. Thanks so much you guys. We really enjoyed the cool weather, the sailing, and the exceptional company. It was one of our most enjoyable and relaxing trips.
Peggy's Cove
Peggy's Cove is one of the most photographed places in Cananda and is only a short drive from Seabright. We came here for lunch twice. This kind of rugged rocky coast is all over Nova Scotia but Peggy's Cove is the most famous.
Swimming in St. Margaret's Bay
Water temperature and swimming conditions for Margret's bay can be heard by calling the Nova Scotia Life Guard Service at 1-888-830-7946.
Lunenberg
We went to Lunenberg the very next day. It's a beautiful victorian village that is very well preserved.
Chester
We passed through Chester after stopping for a divine biscuit at "Biscuit Eaters" in Mahone Bay. Chester is particulary pristine and pretty. Bruce Willis and Arnold Swartzeneger are both rumored to have places here but you know how these kinds of rumors are...
Sailing
Phil arranged a sailing trip on the Bay with his friend John. It day was sunny, the wind was steady and the conversation was lively.
I steered for a while. Phil says I'm a natural. I only freaked out a couple of times when gusts turned the boat. And when the radio tower I was using as a landmark dissapeared completey from the horizon! We still dont know what happened to it. One minute there were two radio towers, then there was only one!
Halifax
Halifax is an intresting town. It's large, but small at the same time. We visited the downtown several times.
There was always a very intresting boat at the docks. This one is "Shaharazad" from bermuda. It's about 150' long. And was for sale in 2007 http://www.luxist.com/2007/06/15/scheherezade-yacht-for-sale/
