Sinda was the manager of the Quay when we were here last; we went to visit with her and her husband, Fred, and their dog, BoBo. Crystal, their daughter, stopped by with her husband, John. We had a nice visit.
The shards of wood splintered off the main mast from a hit of lightning will either be the start of renewed interest in the ship or the end of her.
Kathy and Anne’s mother, Grace went to Saltwater Café for tea then we drove over to her house which is right beside Anne and Keith’s. She had a few hummingbirds visit her feeder. Reminded us of the hummingbirds we would get in TX. Grace is from BC. In her younger days she was a rock hound and has many unique ones. She would slice and polish ones that she found a natural picture in and then frame them. She attended many rock shows with her collection. Her husband would make eggs from the rocks. He would start by cutting a rectangle the size he wanted the egg to be and then continue cutting making facets around the rock and finally polishing it smooth.
The view of Pictou is nice from up on the hill. We headed down to Brown’s Point, the original landing site of the Hector bringing the first Scottish immigrants September 1773. There is a rock commemorating the spot. We had dinner and watched the sun set and the stars start to peek out.
