Another lovely evening kayaking in Lower Prospect at East Coast Outfitters. A bit of wind from the North but overall a great night to be on the ocean.

Looking down the Northwest Arm in Halifax NS this afternoon. A lovely day though a bit cool in the shade with a bit of a breeze. Loads of small sale boats tacking up towards the Rotary.
