Pic and a Word Challenge – Shoreline

Most of the year I live close to the shoreline of Lake Ontario and in the summer my cottage is a two minute walk from Georgian Bay.

I’ve also been lucky enough to walk along the shoreline of the Bay of Fundy and the shorelines of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick on Canada’s East Coast.

It’s hardly the Seven Seas but the Great Lakes are big waters and when the waves come up it certainly reminds you of the ocean.

Water, Water Everywhere – A Three Day Blow

A three day blow occurs when the winds are strong and the waves are big for three days in a row. To my granddaughter’s delight she experienced that at the cottage on Georgian Bay this weekend. There were times when the waves were so high that they went over our heads. I was so glad that I purchased a lifejacket for her to wear. It made the experience less stressful for me and her mom and more fun for her.

A week ago we drove up there to have a look. Luckily the weather was good for driving.

Water, Water Everywhere – Georgian Bay

I’ve just returned from a five day stay at the cottage on Georgian Bay. As some of you may know my cottage is on an island and to get there you have to take a ferry. So I am literally surrounded by water when we go there. The cottage is on the north shore so it looks like we’re on the sea. This past week the lake was calm and great for swimming and paddle boarding.
