@spendius,
She forgot to mention that we came upon two German U-Boot sailors that didnt know the war was over. They were holed up off Great Heron Island

@spendius,
and what, pray tell , would they have paid us in?
They refused a lift to MAtinicus so they are probably still there . They were quite old.

@littlek,
Thanks, we passed by the CApe like a flash on the way North. We stopped briefly at The "Hole" . There were two big beqmy RV's heading south for the South ATlantic and further. We tooted em out and viited some friends and then took off.
The trip was actually very pleasant . The cap is not one of these tyrant seadogs . He liked to sightsee as well as any of us. We were following a small pod of whales around Grand Manaan and we rqn into big RV that was heading south into Fundy . I got some pix and I will bunch them together when I see which ones my wife or I have left. (I lost my camera overboard) but Had my "Rebel" nd several fresh Sandiscs

@farmerman,
Quote:
The Peace of Wild Things
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water,
and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief.
I come into the presence of still water
And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light.
For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
--Wendell Berry, Openings, 1968
