The Wonderful Maritimes

The Alexander Graham Bell Museum, in Baddeck, taught us that in addition to the telephone, Bell was involved with building an airplane (unbeknownst to him shortly after the Wright brothers), and a boat that held the fastest water speed record for 10 years. The boat was the first to use hydrofoil, which is still used today.

This is a picture of Freya and I with our buddy Carman, the owner of Bear on the Lake (a hostel near Aberdeen). He’s making a silly face.


This was on the way round the Cabot Trail for the second time, the mountains in the picture are hidden by the fog.


Thankfully the weather was better than the last time I went round though.



In the afternoon we walked the Skyline Trail, with walking sticks to fend off coyotes (a woman was killed by coyotes on that track a few years back).


We stayed in Pleasant Bay, on the northeastern side of the Cabot Trail. It has a general store, a laundromat and a few houses.



In the evening we took Lucas (from Germany) on a successful moose hunt.
