Across Canada Rolling Rally – Last leg in Canada page 3 of 3
The next day we made our way to the ferry that took us back to Nova Scotia.
We very much enjoyed Newfoundland however the architecture I had envisioned
was not there having been replaced with a coating of Vinyl Siding. I
realize the homes would now be better insulated and comfortable but I would
have liked to have seen more thought go into the selection of materials and
colours.
Back in Nova Scotia we were met by Hugh and Rosemary Macdougall driving
their 78 Palm Beach.
They joined us as guides to Peggy’s Cove where we camped. From there we
toured Peggy’s Cove,
Part of the cottage coast line and Halifax. We took in a great tour of the
Alexander Keith Brewery, shopped, and ate some more great seafood chowder. We
continued together to Lunenburg where we were joined by Corwin and Rose
Marie Hirtle of Bridgewater in their 77 Hughes GMC 2600. We spent the day
touring the waterfront, shops, café’s, horse and buggy ride and viewing the
work in progress of the Blue Nose. That evening we shared a lovely
campsite meal together. It really was delightful spending the time with
these two couples. Hopefully we will meet again and enjoy more time
together.
After saying our – until we meet again – we headed for the Digby Ferry that
would take us on a 3 ½ hr trip in the Bay of Fundy to Saint John, NB.
Upon arrival in NB we followed the GPS plus phone instructions to Adam
Raeburn’s residence where we
spent the night camped in their front driveway. What a wonderful family. Our
time there was short but enough to see the many projects Adam has done,
underway, starting and dreaming of.
Our last stop in NB was St. Andrews by the Sea. Visited the street market
where we tasted the local fare, I had my hair cut, the dogs got their
exercise and then we were off to the USA.
That ended the trip in Canada. I highly recommend you do it at least once.

Dwayne, Thought you might like to know that the Bluenose II relaunch was
This Saturday morning (29th). She still doesn't have her masts installed,
but she is now afloat in the Lunenburg harbour. Made the news here in
Montreal.

When we saw it sitting in Dry Dock it didn't have anything on the deck -
there was a whole lot of work needing done.
Now to get your land yaught launched.

We are aiming for a summer 2013 launch, but unlike the Bluenose, we don't plan on tossing her into the sea.
