Randal and I walked this morning back to the ruins of a 5th century basilica. It was my third time there. The first time I forgot my camera card. The second time I didn’t spot the mosaic of the flip flops (sandals to the …
Benjamin Islands – amazing Canadian Shield rock formations
Since Seamoore, et al were in Little Current with us, we decided to leave at 730AM to beat the crowd and find a better anchorage at the Benjamin Islands. We were ready by 715AM (amazing!) so we left earlier than expected. The weather was perfect and …
