Fundy National Park. Home of the highest tides in the world.

 Nov 22nd, 2014 - Great day spent in Fundy National park.
Photos taken today in Alma, N B Canada,  home of the highest tides in the world. You will notice on one of the photos, some day markers at the entrance of the local fishing dock. Latitude longitude:  45.6019° N, 64.9433 W for all our friend sailors. If you plan to arrive by sea, be prepared to arrive and leave at high tide only.  Fundy National Park is one of our favourite spots, located 90 km from our home. We try to visit at least once a year. Have included the catch of the day.

Winged Spirit has a Blog

The Winged Spirit has a Blog!
So exited that the Winged Spirit has its own blog. What started as a trial by JP, ended up being our official site for our beloved girl, the Winged Spirit.
As the primary writer of our blog, I plan to share our travels on the CS 36 Merlin. Can't wait to start writting  about our adventures.
Please be patient, as we are only just in the setting up  phase.
Stay posted!
