Seafaring Vessels

Welcome Back!

This week I'm including some photos of boats, ferries, etc. from our trip to Grand Manan Island, NB.

1st Photo- The newest Ferry. We had the pleasure of riding on this one. It leaves from Blacks Harbour and is about a 90min ride to the Island.

2nd-5th Photos-These were all taken at the Grand Manan Harbour. You might notice some fog in a few of the photos. Usually every morning was foggy, but it soon burned off and ended up being hot and sunny.

6th & 7th Photos-These were taken at the Seal Cove Harbour, the place where last week's photos originated. However, it was a bit foggy when we were there this time.

Well, here it is New Year's Eve! We are not doing too much..ordered in some pizza and are just hanging out..might play some games later if I can stay awake! :-) Our trip to Ottawa was pretty tiring, staying up past midnight both nights and I'm fighting a cold, so am just wanting to go and lay down..maybe I will! Hopefully your New Year's Eve is more exciting!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wishing you all the best for 2013 and thanking you for visiting my little blog! 

Grand Manan

Today, I've included some shots from our trip to Grand Manan, New Brunswick last year. We only got to spend 3 days on the island, but enjoyed it thoroughly! So, much so, that we are returning this year! Yep, we decided to rent a cottage this year for 1 week (no haunted hotels for us this year)! We can't wait-- the countdown is on---two weeks to go! I'm back to work on Tuesday (after my leave) and then will be off for vacation starting the 12th for two weeks, so we can take our time driving there and back! YEAH! We are looking forward to it! So, while I was thinking of our trip, I decided to post some pictures from last year's adventures there!

1st pic-Harbour where you get off the big ferry

2nd pic-Swallowtail Lighthouse (the most photographed in the word apparently)

3rd pic-a little bird (not sure of the name) found at the Castalia Marsh

4th pic-The Hole In the Wall--a hiking trail that leads you to this site
