Lunenburg Nova Scotia

Today I arrived in picturesque Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. A Seaport on the southern coast of Nova Scotia's Atlantic Ocean. In the early days ,the wealthiest wooden shipbuilding and fishing village in Canada. Now one foreign-owned cannery processing imported fish and a tourist’s destination. The lawns are immaculate, buildings painted different colors and the wharf is a museum with an aquarium. A fisherman & son were catching squid of the dock.

Truro Nova Scotia

A trip of 152 miles yesterday, Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, to Truro, Nova Scotia. Today riding on a tidal bore (tide running up River in a narrow fast-moving channel 14 foot rapids) raft trip guaranteed to get wet. Dinner prepared by Hilden Volunteer Fire Department last night. was a great ride exhausted must've blasted through at least 20 12 foot waves or better. At the trip I sat in the back the last half front it's quite a sight to see a 12 foot wave rolling over the top of your rubber raft filling it with water the boat operator powering up for the next wave and draining the water out of the raft.
