Once it got sunny we were all about swimming, but I bet you can imagine how cold this river was. The water in the bay was as dark as coca-cola from all the tannins from evergreens. Still, just a stunning place (if you don't mind swarms of black flies)


Shortly after, we moved to Deadman's Cove (yes, really) and went ashore. The wild irises there were absolutely stunning!


Here I am in all my moviemaking glory. You can't tell from this picture but I was being devoured by thousands of black flies. They were so thick you'd inhale them if you weren't careful.


Dory the boat cat. Dory is perfectly happy to live in all the nooks and crannies of a sailboat, but he really hated open ocean sailing. If we were out at sea, he was securely in someone's arms, fast asleep. I think he got seasick


Halifax seemed HUGE by the time we got there. Here's a glorious sunset over their main port.
