After a warm, mainly sunny August the winds in Halifax have turned cooler again. Summer seems to have flown past. We’ve done a little sailing. We’ve gone to the Jazz Festival, and visited the tall ships on the waterfront. We’ve explored a little further on land than we could before - visited more of Dartmouth’s lakes, seen parts of St. Margaret’s Bay from the land side, instead of the water. We’ve found a very good Jamaican restaurant (Caribbean Twist - very good spicy hot jerk for those who like it, a range of curries and vegetarian dishes). We spent an enjoyable couple of weeks housesitting.
In the meantime we’ve been trying to make up our minds where to haul Into The Blue for the major refit that will take place over this winter and next summer - and hopefully not too much longer. And working hard at non-boat things. And planning and dreaming...
And of course we’ve taken some pictures - hope that you enjoy them.

Wow, you weren't kidding when you said you couldn't see much of the Laser racing. Too bad they didn't make it more spectator friendly.
Great bunch of pictures. The picture of the longboat rowing through the fog looks almost like a painting.
Glad you enjoyed the pictures. The day we went to the Tall Ships was certainly 'atmospheric'.
Found you from Helium; we wrote to the same titles and are boaters too. I follow your blog from time to time. So you spent your summer in Halifax! Where will you be when the boat is hauled out?
Hello, mvmaithai - it looks as if you've traveled some of the same places, and beyond. We are going to be hauling in Halifax, very soon. And staying put here for a year or more while we do the refit, except for brief escapes to warmth and family...
