Sunday, August 24th...we took a boat ride around the island of Grand Manan. 
It was a beautiful day for a sail and we had good company and a 'new to us' boat.
Off we went, out of the harbour and out among the islands!
On our sail we passed by herring weirs and salmon cages
The cliffs on the back of Grand Manan are impressive!
he fog is often thick and sometimes small clouds of it hang low and solitary,
even though the sun is shining brightly!
We came around to North Head and started the final jaunt towards home when we came upon a kayack floating on the water with the oars still shipped aboard her
.
No one was in sight on the water, so we hauled it aboard and called Fundy traffic to report it in case someone was in trouble. It looked as if it had just drifted from the shore but we had no idea from which shore! luckily another boat hailed us and told us where they had seen two people waving from the shores of a small uninhabited island.
We returned their kayack.They were sure happy to see it and didn't waste any time getting aboard of it and heading out!! It was a great trip and as we were nearing home, just passing by the Mumps Weir near the ledges when we ended the day with this beautiful sight!!
