SXM-2023

2023-04 This year marks our 31st trip to Sint Maarten (SXM).
The Island was very quiet this year, but the Royal Islander and the weather was as perfect as ever. It was a surprise for us to see the seaweed on our last day, it was never a problem before. There are new stores and restaurants in Maho so while we miss the ‘Good Old Days’, the Island is recovering from the storms and Covid more each year.

This online album for SXM-2023 has this year’s trip pictures.

Fiona 2022

2022-09-23 What can I say about Fiona. Lots of words to try and describe the destruction the storm caused, but in my case it was not so serious. Sure we lost a number of trees, but besides some near misses, none of the trees damaged our property. So here are some images of the work to clean up the Trees from Fiona album. In the shot with the BBQ, you may see a generator in the background. Our power was out for 10 days so the genny got a workout and the old BBQ too.

Air Show Atlantic 2022

2022-08-28 This was my first time at an Air Show in Debert, NS and it appears this will be the site of the 2023 Air Show Atlantic event as well.

While this location is not as great as my home airport of Summerside, it did have a decent collection of flying aircraft. My online album called Air_Show_Atlantic-2022 has a good collection of images I took at this show.

Winter Woodlot Tour 2021

2021-02-06 This 2021 Winter had been so mild that the Woodlot tour was again in jeopardy. Temps were +3C and barely any snow, but just enough to hold the event. Maybe it was Covid or the great Weather, but in any case there was a massive turnout of about 1000 people. So many that the parking lot was full and a long wait to get in. Photos from my tour of the event are in this Flickr album:

Cruise 2020 SailAway

2020-03-06 This year’s sailing adventure was on the Cruise ship Crown Princess. Leaving Ft. Lauderdale FL for a 10 day Cruise of some Islands in the Southern Caribbean. My first album has photos of the Sailaway from Port Everglades, as well as on-board photos of the first 2 days at sea, it’s called Cruise_2020_SailAway

Our first island stop was St. Thomas USVI. Since we had visited this island before, we booked an excursion to the nearby island of St. John USVI. Photos of the ferry ride and visit to St. John are in the album Cruise_2020_St.Thomas-John

The next stop is the island of Antigua. Here we took a tour bus to see parts of the island including the famous “Nelson’s Dockyard”. This album is called Cruise_2020_Antigua

The following day we took another excursion tour of the island of Barbados. The Flickr album for this day is called Cruise_2020_Barbados

Our next island visit was to St. Lucia. Although we stayed here many years ago we did not tour it much, so another excursion bus tour took us through the countryside with a special stop at the Rum Distillery. This online album is called Cruise_2020_St.Lucia

Our final stop was another island on our to-do list. The excursion on St. Kitts USVI, combined a bus tour and an exciting train tour over more than half the island. This photo album is called Cruise_2020_St.Kitts
