jasper_2

Jasper is nestled deep in the Canadian Rockies in Alberta, Canada.  It is Canada’s largest Rocky Mountain Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  Jasper National Park celebrated its centennial in 2007 (1907-2007). We checked into the beautiful Sawridge Inn & Conference Center.  As we entered the lobby we were amazed to see a three storey fireplace and a sky lit atrium. Our luxurious accommodations featured a king-size bedroom and a bathroom with a Jacuzzi. Jasper is small but has something for everyone – from dining, shopping, exploring, hiking, or simply touring.  Restaurants were plentiful. At Papa George’s you could see the mountains while dining and enjoying a great meal.

sault_ste_marie

Located right in the heart of the Canadian wilderness Sault Ste. Marie, known as The Soo, is surrounded by water, forests, mountains and lakes. To the south, across the river are the United States and the city of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The two cities are joined by the International Bridge, which connects Interstate 75 on the Michigan side and Huron Street on the Ontario side. We took a 90-minute Westjet flight from New York to Toronto’s Billy Bishop Airport and then a small Air Canada plane to Sault Ste. Marie. The Quality Inn Bay Front Hotel located in the downtown city center would be our hotel for the next three nights.  Our well-furnished room including a bay window gave us a magnificent view of the International Bridge linking Lake Superior to Sault Ste Marie, Ontario … [Continue reading...]

reid_soanya_darshen_1

Our little family and the trusty schooner have returned home. The schooner rests peacefully on her river of birth, the Cape Fear River. Soanya, Darshen and I are in the family home in Greensboro. We had a great voyage home. Besides our stopover in St. Thomas VI, we never lowered a sail the whole voyage. The winds blew out of the NE all the way to the mouth of the Cape Fear River. We had some tech savvy delivery crew with us in the VI and when they opened their computers to Passage Weather, the weather maps showed four days of contrary winds and squalls.  They decided they didn’t have time to deal with that. So they jumped ship and caught the next plane home. That left us with only Jennifer, who had never been to sea before. Despite the contrary weather forecast, we were eager … [Continue reading...]
