Arriving to the cottage in cool temperatures, a fire burned all night and stoked this am. A quiet day of chores and a walk on the nature trail yesterday. Off to the shed in a minute. Aren’t Cottage sheds always a classic, 😂, stuff here and stuff there. 🧰
Always good day to take a cruise 🚢 on the Bay of Fundy. With cooler weather pending, more chores and healthy living at the cottage. xitter.cf/Jeff_newriver/status/2…
Morning sunrise 🌅 over the Halifax approach to the harbour. A cruise ship slides onwards against the land. Happy T Giving to all - and a special thanks to all the first responders working to keep others safe.

We remember Cst. Christopher John Worden, who was killed on duty after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds during the pursuit of a fleeing suspect in Hay River, Northwest Territories. #RCMPNeverForget

Nous nous souvenons du gend. Christopher John Worden, tué en service après avoir reçu de multiples blessures par balles lors d'une poursuite à pied d'un suspect en fuite à Hay River, dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest. #GRCoublionsjamais
After a week of fall chores heading home tomorrow. A final walk on the nature trail. A hidden gem. New trim, pickwick pine, and laminate in the corner = long overdue refresh.
A great “learning how to sail season” has come to a close. A final sale from Gold River Marina towards Peggy’s Cove with a pod or porpoises 🐬 swimming bye. Wonderful moments on the water. Today the boat was pulled from the water. Off to the cottage next - fall chores await.
Astounded to be watching international volleyball 🏐 in Moncton. For the next week teams from across the world will be playing.
After an epic trip returned home. Sailed (or motored) from Gold River M to Mahone Bay. And then sailed onwards out past Tancook Island before returning to Gold River Marina.
A great day sail to Tancook Island and back. Pods of porpoises swam bye me. Oak Island 🏝️ is a bit bed of digging (for treasure)! Sunset 🌇 and quite ocean 🌊 on final stretch.
Another sailing lesson and then towed back to the dock by an awesome sailing instructor. The wind disappeared!!
A cheery campfire 🔥 bubbles away. Lights from a small solar system brighten the ambience attached to our shed/ workshop.
I continue to practice. With gusty conditions, completed about a 7 nm track to Squid Island and back. While faint in the picture - too many sailboats ⛵️ to count are off Chester for its annual racing: true sailors.!! A few gusts had the boat leaning 15’ ®istering 5.5 knots!
