Thursday, September 1 — One of our neighbors in the anchorage at Don Juan was throwing herself a birthday party this evening, and she had invited us to attend. The party was taking place in a different anchorage, called La … Continue reading →
San Juan Islands
Just after pulling anchor in Bedwell Harbor, we do one last food check. No eggs, no apples, no fruit with seeds or pits. In just a few miles, we will be crossing Boundary Pass and entering the United States. Since leaving Petersburg, Alaska we have traveled 1012 miles in the past 36 days. We are so thankful for […]
Puerto Don Juan Days 2 – 3
Sunrise, Tuesday August 30 As the sun was rising, a fleet of little fishing pangas came roaring into the bay and stopped suddenly near our boat. They fished for maybe an hour, then roared back out as fast as they … Continue reading →

Nova Scotia Lighthouses
“We must never remain silent in the face of bigotry. We must condemn those who seek to divide us. In all quarters and at all times, we must teach tolerance and denounce racism, anti-Semitism and all ethnic or religious bigotry wherever they exist as unacceptable evils. We have no place for haters in America — none, whatsoever.” –Ronald Reagan
I’ve enjoyed taking pictures of lighthouses since we left Texas in 2011. I have a lighthouse map and an online photo album with 322 lighthouses. Nova Scotia has over 150 lighthouses along its shoreline. We didn’t go out of our way on this trip to find them, but we did stop and get a picture if we were close. Most of the lighthouses in Nova Scotia have a pepper-shaker-style tower and look very similar.
The Cape Forchu Lighthouse, on a headland at the south western tip of Nova Scotia, is the light for the town of Yarmouth and its harbor. It was originally built in 1840 and replaced in 1961 with the current light.
Keith’s Perspective on Bahia San Francisquito and Puerto Don Juan/Le point de vue de Keith sur Bahia San Fransquito et Puerto Don Juan
I hated Bahia San Francisquito. There were no kids! It was ultra rocky! We were trapped inside the boat because there were so many bees! It was horrible! Ja’i deteste Bahia San Francisquito. Il n’y avait pas d’eufants. La mer … Continue reading →

Aug. 24-26 Exploring the North Shore of NS
“Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking in the moment and making the best of it.” -Gilda Radner
We decided not to find another place in Halifax, so we drove towards the north coast. We spent the night in Truro. It’s at the head of Cobequid Bay where you can see the tidal bore several times a day. This phenomena is produced by the huge tidal change in the Bay of Fundy. Unfortunately our timing didn’t allow us to see this again. We experienced it on our New Brunswick trip in 2019.
Huckleberry Creek
One of the aspects of wilderness camping that we really like is the opportunity to get out into the mountains and enjoy wonderful views. Finding the right campsite can take a bit of time, but we enjoy exploring and so far having been finding one excellent site after another, all with great views. Huckleberry Creek…
