Late in the day of our 80 NM run from Pictou and through the Sraits of Lennox we came upon the invisible lock of St Peters. If you didn’t know or have a chart you would never see the entrance to this beautiful lock amidst well carved and rounded rocks and pine trees reaching all the way to the water lies in it’s tranquility this small lock leading into the lower part of Bras D’Or lake. Breathtakingly beautiful and so calming it is here. Even though it rained again everything was fine and calm. We tied up at the Warf of the fuel dock of St. Peter’s Marina. This is home now for a day and two nights possibly.

The end of our full day at St. Peter’s has arrive and it was a wonderful and restful day. We got to experience the small town which seems to have been the Birthplace of a well known photographer Wallace R. MacAskill. As a young man he was fascinated by the sea and taught himself how to sail yet as he was given a camera of the early 1900 he discovered his true passion. He went to New York City and studied photography which later made him famous as an artistic photographer being able to capture soft-focus impressionism capturing atmosphere above subject. Our Capt. Tom was greatly impressed by his example and shared some of his own photos of the day and his hiking trail of which I am enclosing a few. Thanks Tom!

The entire day was filled with tons of relaxation, reading, walking, hiking and some food shopping. Our dinner was at the boat with the most spectacular sunset view and the display of sunset colors and tranquility of the lake. All is well in the world of Contessa and crew!
