From the East Coast to Beyond

Well its the day to begin my journey overseas and I must say, these last few weeks on the east coast have been very eventful.

From the beautiful beach at white point to the attempts at clamming to my first ever sailing experience I've been jammed packed with enjoyment.

Now as I begin removing items and perfecting my packing I look back and now forward to what lies ahead.

First off let me fill you in to the sailing experience that I was able to share with Joe, Mike and Scott. Now the days before this weren't the greatest. Lots of rain and no sun, however I was fortunate enough to go out on the Whaler with Joe as he showed me around the Halifax harbour.
The exciting part comes when the wind starts picking up and further out in the waters 6 foot swells start forming. Now as Joe and Mike told me...this isn't very big, but to me a prairie boy...ya they were pretty darn big.

So after that shaky little incident all went well and I was able to snag three mackerels, but I never got to eat them...oh well some other time.

Anyways back to the story about the sailing. So the day was clearer then most...a few sunny periods and boy was I excited about this. We took the boat out into the harbour again, plus we got to just lazily move about the waters.

Now this is the life...no place to be...just relaxing on a sunny...well mildly sunny day on the ocean waters. Wow.

Also just to point out I got my glorious locks of flowing hair removed just the other day. It will now be much shorter and easier to manage...but I must admit...at first I was a little nervous about it.

I tried making a video but I couldn't get it linked up to my blog so if you're so inclined to check it out you can follow this link below.

So that's about the whole east coast journey. In a couple hours I'll be starting my new journey. Stay tuned for that.
