Sailing then & now

Well we won the Roosevelt cup last weekend.. my contribution to sailing is staying out of the Captains way or unhooking the foresail when it gets hooked on the safety line.. sometimes I'm allowed to fetch beer!
A fishing weir,
fog rolling though the cove
and our boat just before we left.

Next weekend Saturday only the gallery will be closed for the Rum Runners Race, the forecast is for thunderstorms again this year which is what we got last year too.

Speaking of the gallery things are very slow here this year as we don't have our private ferry going to Campobello Island.  The ferry that has been going there sank last year just before Christmas and the owner doesn't seem to be trying very hard to get the replacement finished!  SO if you are planning on going to Campobello via Deer Island this summer you can't , however we would love for you to come and spend the day on Deer Island instead!

I also got a bunch of new paintings this week so come check out the gallery walls if your on the island... remember the government ferry from the mainland is FREE and runs every half hour during the day.

week 37 - in Motion

Focus on Life in Motion... Now I know I have taken some great pictures of the cats yawning but after laughing at them I delete them so instead of seeing motion here's some pictures from the ferry a couple of weeks ago of my husbands sail boat Eurydice (aka Money Pit) waiting to pick me up and take me to the Roosevelt Cup reception at Prince Cottage... this is definitely the highlight of the sailing season in this area and the only thing I close the gallery for to attend!

Pictures of Eurydice  taken from The island hopper as we approach Campobello NB
This is the Island hopper 11 a private ferry that runs from Deer Island NB to Campobello NB,
The ferry is a barge driven by a tug that swivels so it is always going forwards...


Monkey pit coming home from a hard days sail!  Oops Eurydice coming home from a hard days sail! (Boat looks much better with the sails up!
