July 19, 2013 -- Guy Lafleur and sightseeing


well Guy Lafleur is our boat neighbour ... the marina moved us to another outside dock, and Ocean 10, the Lafleur boat is in front of us ... lots of people walking the dock just to see his boat.


we rented a car for two days, so we can see the all the islands


day one took us to Havre Aubert Island, with the red  sand cliffs


and beaches, miles long and this one is about 500 feet wide too, it was cold and windy,so there
was not too many people out today.




heading to Cape aux Meules Island, the hydro poles had lots of support at the base, it is all sand and water in this area


lots of colourful houses


the sand cliffs are slowly deteriorating


this is our Plymouth Wave, that we rented for $65/day


this stone sculpture depicts fishermen pulling a boat to shore, after a father and son drowned


a tribute to all fishermen lost at sea


the fishing port, with one of the 400 ship wrecks in the background


you just never know what you will find next






some more of the red sand formations





this large rock was in the centre of Cap aux Meules, the town


we stopped for a bite to eat,  scallops, mackerel pate, seal, pickled and salted herring, good !!!


we visited a few other art galleries, then bought a few groceries, and by this time the wind was getting strong and it was raining


Guy Lafleur's boat, and the south wind picking up and sending 2 ft waves with white caps
into the marina
