Prince Edward Island … 2025

For Quinn


Quinn asked  me to post some photos from my recent trip to
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.

So I will.

Canada is HUGE.
Prince Edward Island is small.

I lived in New Brunswick for 3 years in the late 60’s.
Finished High School there. But was never able to get over to
Prince Edward Island.
And I always regretted that.
So you might say that this on an unofficial goal
on my Bucket List.

So we flew from Calgary to Charlottetown 
Prince Edward Island (PEI).

The first (and only) official goal on my Bucket List
had been
to sail on the famous Canadian Schooner:
THE BLUENOSE.

So I did.

Bluenose / Stan Rogers / 1978

Photo of the original Bluenose. Bluenose.

Thanks to my partner Rose, I achieved this goal on July 28, 2016.

9 hours on the the Bluenose 2. What a Day!

ROSE AT THE HELM!

STEADY AS SHE GOES …

It was the experience of a lifetime.

ROSE AND THE SKIPPER
THE MOTLEY ‘CREW FOR A DAY’

2016 … seems like a lifetime ago.

So how does a fishing schooner defeat racing yachts?
I think it was this guy:
Angus Walter / Skipper

OK … I’ll get to some PEI pics in my next post …
