Halifax, Summer 2009

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.
