Tom catches up on his reading while we wait for Halifax to come
into view. |

Sunset in Halifax and the showers can't be far away. |

Jiann gets ready for shore leave! Where's that restaurant? |

'Little Wing' resting at the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron
in Halifax, NS. |

|
I've visited several Yacht Clubs, but this is the nicest one
I've ever visited. I'll be back someday for a longer visit. |
|
|
|
We missed the 'Marblehead to Halifax' Yacht race by a week, but
we got here for the last of the party. |
|
|
The Royal
Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron. The oldest Yacht Club in North
America. |
|
|
|
They have a fleet of yacht cradles because it's cold up here
and they can only sail 5 or 6 months a year. |
|
|
They have a racing fleet of small keelboats as well as a sailing
school on the property. The club house is visible in the background. |
|
|
|
The sailing school was having class while we were there. |
|
|
Here's the senior instructor doing something nautical. I have
no idea what, but since it's a sailing school it must be something
nautical... |
|
|
|
They use a rail system to raise and lower the boats onto cradles
each time they need to be removed from the ocean. |
|
|
They have a great staff at the Yacht Squadron and if you ever
visit, try 'Harpoon' beer on tap at the bar. |

This young lady is very overdressed for the yacht club. <big
evil grin> Click the picture for a more detailed view and
read the sign... |
|
|
Ok, we were going outside to get a scenic photo when I was distracted
by the sign. This is the photo I intended to take. The flower
stump was in full bloom and it was beautiful. |

Toward the sea, large ships enter the harbor while small sailboats
swing at their moorings. |

Life is beautiful at the Yacht Squadron! |

Race day at sailing school. Only don't fall in the water, it
was freezing! |
|
|
The only thing better than being out of school for the summer,
is spending the summer at Sailing School! |
|
|
|
One last view of the races. I had a great day! |
