Halifax Sailing on the Mar

Had a very nice and relaxing weekend in Halifax. We were down for Jay and Aimée’s wedding. That went super-well and we had a very nice evening. The next day was a special treat: sailing in the harbour on the Mar.

Halifax harbour is the second largest harbour in the world (behind Sydney) and a highly attractive one it’s true. As such, there are quite a few harbour cruises one can take, and on a variety of vessels too. As far as I’m concerned, though, sail’s the thing and we couldn’t have had a finer ship for a cruise.

I was particularly impressed by the captain’s manner with the children on board. They all got to steer the ship, but it was the crew’s warm and friendly manner that really made the day for them.

Here’s some photos from the trip. It’s hard to take pictures of a boat from on the boat, so I opted for vertical shots instead.

Heather, Jen and the Skipper

Yours truly

	Envy Nice photos. And, of course I'm jealous--I haven't been out sailing all summer. If you only get to go out in a boat once in a year, there are worse places to do it than Halifax harbour. at 2005-9-7 14:22 by Andrew
