Busy Saturday! While out, we saw the Bluenose II and I got a number of nice photos of her sailing by. In the evening, at the Kitchen Party, "Fare Thee Well Love" was sung by John McGee and Barbara Morris, perhaps inspired by Jimmy Rankin's presence at the recent Folk Harbour Festival. John asked if I'd post this song, and immediately I knew what I'd use for the Youtube cover! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBKPehZ3Tas
For those of you not familiar with Bluenose II, she's a Canadian icon, built in Lunenburg and featured on the Canadian dime.
@summerfield It's docked in the harbour now...to stay, I think. It goes out for tours once and maybe twice, daily. I think it's free to go aboard...photos!
@spits That is She! She'd docked at the base of the hill from our house, so I have the opportunity to photograph her often when she's out. (In my group photo of friends that I posted for Sunday the 27th, Don Barr is in the front row and he was the Bluenose II captain for 25 years. It's all local stuff here in Lunenburg (where she was built). Where do you call home?
