Discovering Cape Breton Island. Retired wedding photographer.

We moved to Nova Scotia a few years ago from S. Onterrible... and never looked back. Adventures begin.... kayaking, lobster, boondocking and trekking into the little known areas of one of the most beautiful islands in the world ... Cape Breton Island!

The local lobster fisherman say the odds of them catching a blue lobster is about one and 2 million so what are the odds of us finding one washed up on the shore???

Well in my defence.... i was able to adjust the rudder for my copilot's lack of directional instinct ...... ie: NO ... your other LEFT ! (But she did pack the cooler bag) Tomorrow we tackle the might River Inhabitants out to the the North Atlantic! (Weather permitting). A few "baby lemonades"?

This was our initial test run with the single/tandem, modular, three-piece Zest Kayak, Canadian made. Our full review will be posted soon at YouTube/Boondocking with Dogs. Most obvious issue at first is no drink holder and an assembly quality issue with one set of pedals โ€ฆ. Full review to follow.
