I am sure that Sandy will give a final synopsis of our Halifax visit, but wanted to keep you all in the loop. Today 7/31 we are relaxing and tomorrow we start our move to Cape Breton.
Yesterday we traveled east to Lunenberg and Mahone’s Bay
Lunenberg is a fishing and ship/boat building city. It is where the bluenose schooner was built to race and beat the fishing schooners of the United States. The blue nose schooner is actually stamped into the Canadian 10 cent coin. A replica of the original bluenose schooner was in port but hidden behind other boats and equipment so I didn’t get a good picture of it. The pictures I have are the one with all the sailing masts. We did see the $70M yacht “Mylin” being worked on (looked like they were adding a large deck on the back at water level) and a wind sensor being mounted on the top of the mast of a sail boat (See picture of man in a cage hanging from a Crane cable. Lunenberg although pretty, we blew through it pretty quickly
Mahone’s Bay, also very small, but quaint, with restaurants and of course my favorite, Ice Cream shops. We like Mahone’s Bay better, but again a couple hours is enough. By the way, they do have a great dentist office in a 100+ year old building which you know if you read my previous post.
Here are some pictures of the day:
