We enjoy sharing our lifestyle with our family, friends, and others. So COME ON OUT and "let's get on with it". You only have an opportunity to live once. For those of you who do not choose to get away, feel free to travel vicariously via this blog.

This is primarily a blog of photographs, of our travels. Our blogging time is limited by our activities, so we figure a photograph is worth a thousand words. You may click on the photos to enlarge them.

There is only one Post per page. You can access earlier posts by clicking on the link below and to the right, or by going to the "Archive".

The "Relevant Links" will take you to sites showing our current location, the weather conditions that we are experiencing, some of our favorite ports of call, and information related to our boat. When using the SPOT link, to see where we are, click on "satellite" tab to get a photo of the area (takes a while to load).

If you must have more then you may also follow the links to our "Earlier Blogs".

Enjoy, Philip & Sharon

Le Petit Rigolet (Quebec)

Sunday, June 23rd, 2013

This is Le Petit Rigolet.  This inside passage is a 20 mile stretch of sheltered water that one could easily spend two or more weeks exploring.  Now, imagine that it is the middle of winter, and all is white, and the water is frozen solid.  The passage then becomes a snowmobile paradise.  Marks are now actually placed on the ice every 50 - 100 feet to mark the trail.  Locals say that in the past when people travelled by dog sled they would know the land marks --- but now that people zoom along on snowmobiles the trail must be marked because it is too difficult to keep track of landmarks.  

 
As we sail east we are awed by the sights:
 






 
At the east end of the passage, the camps become more common:
