Yesterday at noon we arrived in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.

If you want to spy on us while we're here, you can use this remote control web cam by logging in with the username "bluenosegolf" (note I could only make this work in Explorer, not Firefox):

In the camera image, you can see our transom to the left of Bluenose II's, and to the right of the Theresa O'Connor museum schooner (which you see broadside). Pride of Balitimore II is to the left of Theresa.

We're near the end of the trip, but not quite finished yet! The destination ship yard is a little further south, but with Lunenburg's "September Classic" race happening tomorrow, we decided to stop and join in on the fun.

Cloe is off recruiting local crew for the afternoon-long race from the harbour, around Cross Island, and back again:



This will be the first year tall ships have participated. We're up against two of the American boats that were in the PEI race: Pride & Virginia.

The September Classic is known to have a pretty "relaxed" atmosphere, with impromptu rules. No handicap ratings!

More updates coming...
