Vacation 2015 – Post 3

We continued to Cap aux Mueles island which has 2 ports, one where the passenger and other large vessels dock and another for the small fishing fleet. The photos are of the smaller harbour. Don’t be surprised at the red bluffs, the islands are north of Prince Edward Island which is well known for bright red sand.

We stopped by the airport to check on CGWBO then continued to Grande Entrée Island which is the north end of the Magdalen Islands. One small sub section is the Anglophone community of the island all of whom speak with a Scottish accent. We stopped at the workshop of a local artist and bought all our souvenirs. Evidently the entire island is on a salt deposit; there is a salt mine with a great visitors’ center.

We hiked from one of the beaches to Boudreau Island, I believe some of the best photos are from that hike; we saw seals in the ocean but couldn’t get to the camera fast enough to record it.
