July 26 and 27, 2013 Souris and Sea Glass Festival


as we walk our way up to the Sea Glass Festival, we see a motor home with a motor cycle on the back, 
now that is the way to go ....


18 years ago a lady found the left hand side glass door knob and a few days
ago, the skipper found the other ... see how the ocean has worn our's, to the perfect specimen  !!!
She has been looking for the other side of the door knob, since then ... nice to have met the lady on the other side  ...


Richard La Motte, author of Pure Sea Glass, and behind him is Romeo Gallant, (we met him beside the bouy, to the entrance of Souris, and he radioed us, said the ferry was leaving at the same time we were to entering ... and life got very interesting from that moment on ... in a very good way  ....  with Romeo and his cousin Eric Gallant.




this is Eric Gallant, the Marina Master and the lender of the yellow sports car, and the truck for two
day to explore the island, and a guy full of knowledge  ... next time we want to go bar clamming with you ...


tons of people at the Sea Glass Festival ... demonstrations, free lobster, scallops, fish, we now have to buy a dremel  tool with diamond bit to drill our sea glass ....


this is were we are collecting our sea glass, the edge of a dump some 50 years ago ... this is what happened back then ... dump it into the sea



Debbie kept the place clean, and the guys in order too ... we got all the info we needed from her to do our exploring by Eric's truck for the eastern end ... she is full of local knowledge and we recommend Souris to all sailors.


one last look out at the Light house !!!



this is for my daughter Lily, she never reads the blog so I am safe, but Joe and I both agree this one is for her !!  sorry my love
