Due to COVID-19 restrictions here in the Canadian Maritimes, unless we are driving straight through to another province, we are limited to staying where we live. For us that is beautiful Nova Scotia. A perfect time to explore places we haven't yet discovered. Staying in a pub-inn for a couple night - we won't need camping gear but will cycle on back roads, hike new trails and kayak ocean coves.

We hope to go back to Isle Madame sooner than later to explore more on land and sea. Before leaving for mainland Nova Scotia we stopped at Petit de Grat Island to buy fresh crab legs that we watched being unloaded off the boat. Packed in ice in our cooler - to cook for supper later.

The driftwood cluttering the shore drew me in to Bernard Island. Chose an interesting cane-shaped piece that would fit for transport - both on the 'Fury' we'd rented from our B&B and our car for the trip home.

Lennex Passage. Calm seas, clear sky. Perfect paddling.

Paddling past Ile Bernard Island. Tick the Tickle is written on my map of this section of waterway - not sure if it refers to the water or the point of land behind us, opposite the Island. Such a curious name that I had to make mention of it!

A perk of staying at The Groundswell Pub and Inn instead of camping. Quiche and coffee delivered on the deck :-)

A return evening hike to Cap la Ronde: to retrieve Derryl's glasses he'd taken off earlier while enjoying our afternoon snack. The wind wasn't strong enough to pick them up where they lay in the grass. It was really nice to see this view again in a different light!
