A few work boats in the shelter of the St. Peters Canal on a sunnier day in Cape Breton. This time of year campers, tourists, locals, summer-from-aways like myself and fishermen of all stripes walk along the pleasant canal enjoying the pleasure of being alive but - so far - it never seems crowded. I've heard that the flounder fishermen do reasonably well some days. This canal connects the famous Bras d'Or lake with the Atlantic ocean and so it sees not only the local working boats but the occasional world traveler from afar. Some years back in the late 70's I chanced into conversation with a young man who was sailing a classic wooden ship the Valeda. It was a 30's beauty but the maintenance was constant. (More on the Valeda later on one of my page posts).
