Looking over the so many pics captured during the more than 200 hours spent sailing 2000 kms of ocean, we reflect on all there is to share with those interested in our adventure! Different strokes for different folks of course. Some are interested in the ocean life we encountered, some in the boat itself and associated mechanics, some in the geography of the places visited, some in the amenities available at each port, some in the interpersonal challenges of sharing a tiny space with others, some in the fashion standards aboard a 30 foot vessel in the middle of the cold Atlantic Ocean. Some in what exactly happened to our Halifax crew….
So for our most loyal followers, we’re pulling some things together to fill in some of the blanks left in our blog. So many different themes to be considered. Some simple – like the many faces of the ocean – a dozen different colours……. Some more complicated. For now, just a few for your viewing pleasure.
P.S. “Would we do it again?” seems the most common question today. What do you think?

For the past four weeks I have following your planning, reviewed your course outline, checked the forecast about 15 times on daily basis, e-mailing and texting and the list goes on. For all intents and purposes I was onboard this boat enjoying the challenges and excitement along the way. Your blogs and pictures reminded me of the moments I cherished along the South Coast as a boy. The many trips from Ramea to Grey River, Cape La Hune, Francois (my Mothers home) all became real again looking at it through your eyes. Thank you for sharing your stories and pictures with us, you have no idea of the impact you have on your old friends like me.
Keep the pictures coming (the shot coming out of Grey River is currently my screen saver, I love it ) .

You were with us all the way yes my friend. Your support, advice, encouragement, cautions, were invaluable – thank you. It is a shame that most will never get to see first hand the places of your youth and we feel blessed to have been able to. There will definitely be other times.😀
