Our Little Ship in Canada

Taken by Rosa of Salty fame at Pointe Au Baril
from the Lighthouse in Georgian Bay

Cruisin
Beautiful Canada 


This is one of the few
parts of the world that we
have travelled that could
rival New Zealand for
Beauty. Our little ship has run
reliably and trouble free
for over 4500 miles to date.
