Picton Castle anchored in Rose Bay

Here's another zoomed in shot of the Barque Picton Castle anchored in Rose Bay on July 18th.

I like how the power poles look like masts...and that Upper Kingsburg Rd. looks (and drives) more like a wave than a road!

Welcome home, Picton Castle!

The Barque Picton Castle, anchored in Rose Bay Saturday, July 18th.

It was returning from its fifth circumnavigation voyage around the world.

My nose is blue

I finally manged to capture some shots of Lunenburg's waterfront, complete with the Bluenose II, Picton Castle and some fishing boats, enjoy!:


The Chockle Cap is one of the last wooden fishing vessels on the East Coast. Owned and operated by Adams & Knickle Limited of Lunenburg. She is one of the company’s scallop draggers and has been plying the waters of George’s Bank and Southwest Nova Scotia for 22 years. *cue Stan Rogers music*


Bluenose II, golf course in background


Some Bluenose II crew doing some rope splicing on the pier...


As a last resort, use your teeth (mothers everywhere are now shouting at their monitors, "don't use your teeth!")


Short pant legs: check. Deck shoes: check. Rope 'ladder' knot firmly snugged: check.


Bluenose II crew member working on...something.


Time to stretch the 'ole back and mend a sail...




If it weren't for the modern boats in the shot, you could almost imagine this shot was taken a hundred years ago...


I like all the rigging in this shot
