September 18, 2026 – Nuuk to Qaqortok, Greenland
So, today flew a little over an hour south from Nuuk to Qaqortoq. Qaqortoq is in southern Greenland and there are a bunch of ruins from Viking settlements. Most sites are just foundations, I believe, but in a couple of days we’ll go see the remanents of the last Viking church used in Greenland. More…

September 17, 2026 – Nuuk, Greenland
Lee’s and my day trip into the fiords was canceled last night but we made the most of today by roaming the shore of the fiord from our Airbnb. Then, took the bus into downtown Nuuk and walked to the harbor. Nice and sunny today with little wind. Temp in the upper 40s F. There’s…

Went out on the 50 ft sailboat, Eastern Star, for a two hour sail around Lunenburg Bay. Great to be on a sailboat again. Tried three times to do this today. The first two attempts were canceled because of high winds. Seems silly to cancel sailing because of high winds but, okay. Saw a seal…

June 7, 2026 – Lunenburg, Nova Scotia
On the south coast of Nova Scotia is Lunenburg, an UNESCO World Heritage site. The old town is preserved because of its original British grid layout and the old homes with their ornate architecture. Lunenburg is a pleasing place to look at and walk around. But, it is touristy. I can’t complain because I am…

The Minas Basin is an inlet of the Bay of Fundy. The big bay has the greatest tide extremes in the world. I visited Burntcoat Head Park to take a look. In the gif included here each photo was taken every minute from 3:22 to 3:28 PM today. The tide was coming in. It was…
