Basil Takes the Slow Boat to Pennsylvania

Part of seafoam's adventure in River John, NS

basil-leaves-pictouAfter leaving Pictou harbour his route will take him around Cape George and through Canso Lock. This is part of the Canso Causeway which was built in the 1950’s to connect Cape Breton Island to the mainland. From there he will travel down the southern coast of Nova Scotia and on to the USA.

Bon voyage Basil, it’s been great meeting you. Have a great time in Philadelphia. If you have time, go check out The Wood Turning Center and tell them about your first experience with a lathe.
