With an extremely low morning tide, complete calm and windless conditions, I enjoyed a double beach wander on Crescent and Rissers Breaches.
The placid appearance of the water was only broken with the
occasional lethargic wave, blending almost perfectly at the junction of the sky,
with its elongated outstretched clouds, giving what struck me as a horizontal and featureless
panorama …
With an early bright morning, I figured that it would be a bright sunny warm day. So, with that I took a beautiful drive along the other side of the LaHave River to Lunenburg and then onto Mahone Bay, with stops along the way at Corkums and Hermans Islands.
One end of
the Lunenburg waterfront was a little noisier than usual with much clattering
and banging, as crewmembers of The Picton Castle were getting her ready for the upcoming
around the world sail. While at the other end, workers were working on Bluenose
II getting her ready for winter storage.

It was a
grand day out with the fall colours almost at their peak ……
Even on the best of days, it is not uncommon here in the South Shore to have a beach to yourself.
This
morning with the tide high and a warm south wind, I was out for a marvelous
beach wander at Rissers ~ all this with not another person in sight ~ “Oh how I
miss Southern Ontario”, he said with a slight hint of sarcasm ….
