Brit got a "heads up" that there was a market in Louisberg, 30 minutes away, this afternoon, so that gave us a destination for today.
 |
Just before the town we turned onto the road that would take us out to the lighthouse.
|
 |
Houses and wharves along the shore.
|
 |
We stopped at a lookout and, stepping out of the car,
|
 |
and realized how windy it was. Photo by Brit.
|
 |
A crab boat went by,
|
 |
the fortress across the bay and
|
 |
our first view of the lighthouse.
|
 |
We continued out to the end, parked
|
 |
Eider ducks in the water
|
 |
We walked up and around
|
 |
snapping away and getting buffeted by the wind. Photo by Brit.
|
 |
Into the village and the market, small but lots of people.
|
 |
We took a walk along the shore
|
 |
which is a nice mix of commercial and
|
 |
areas with picnic tables and a path.
|
 |
The birds were going crazy for something in the water.
|
 |
Lots of fishing, or crabbing, or lobster, boats.
|
 |
| Wharves |
 |
piled high with rows
|
 |
of lobster pots.

 |
Brit noticed this odd looking plant.
|
 |
Common Horsetail.
|
 |
On the hard, among the fishing boats, a wooden sailboat.
|
 |
The name means: freeborn, no longer enslaved, freed.

I found a video on how it was built (over 19years, by a Canadian couple):
