hi folks,

Nova Scotia 2022 summer vacations are upon us! Have you made your plans?

I was lucky enough to spend some time exploring the best beaches along the Northumberland Shore in July. These are some of the warmest waters in Nova Scotia.

I haven't had the time to create pages on my website yet but I did take many videos. And I have been able to add these to my YouTube Channel.

Have a look and make plans to visit the ones that inspire you. These are gorgeous beaches!!

I also had the good fortune of witnessing 2 sail boats encounter each other as they made their way through the Barra Strait in the Bras d'or Lake in Cape Breton. It was awesome and I was able to get it on video!!

While camping I couldn't resist a little video of my campfire with the sound of the crashing waves at Caribou-Munroes Island beach in the background.
