Race Around Nova Scotia

Day 1: started off with a balmy 28 degrees at 10:30am to meet at Tim's in Coldbrook with Katie. Ian had been part of the trip (which had been reduced from race around Newfoundland) and was nursing a knee injury. We found out by days end he couldn't come on the adventure.

From Coldbrook we took Route 12 to the 103 where we stopped in Lunenburg to take in the waterfront, from there route 3 took us along the shore line with beautiful white sand beaches and a cool breeze. I am very fond of pie. In Mahone Bay we followed (sceptical) of a Pie Social--it did not disappoint! Grandmas and delicious pie everywhere! We landed in Peggy's and Polly's cove around supper before stopping at the Stubborn Goat for a refresher.

Lastly we headed to Porter's Lake where Katie's family kindly let us stay in their camping trailer, provided us with a delicious supper (and breakfast!) and a great campfire with their friends. Perfect start to the trip!
