My Lobster and I are currently relaxing in B&B in Capital City. We have a wonderful view of the harbour and the rain is now beginning to fall. Across the water from us we can see the CCGS John Cabot. It's one of three new CCGS vessels built at a shipyard across the Strait. Of course being a CCGS vessel in the Great White North it's used for research and protecting our shorelines from environmental issues. In other words it is unarmed. In fact, this branch falls under the Federal Department of Fisheries.

I'm awake - go figure - but my Lobster is still snorkeling in bed. I turned the fireplace on. Its natural gas, like the one at the Wayward Inn, but there is no blower fan.
10:00 hrs
We have driven out to Pot Holes. There's a lady selling framed exotic moths and butterflies. We already have a couple - and a bat - on the wall of the Wayward Inn. My Better Half wants a couple more and who am I to argue as I bought a new trail camera when we stopped in Hub City on the way down.

We're back at our (temporary) stately manor after six hours of walking around Capital City. Feeling the burn. As we came down the hill I spotted not one but two HMCS boats underway from the dockyard. Didn't know they had enough personnel to crew more than one of them at a time. Our lunch was at a quasi-Mexican joint serving an all day breakfast and a limited lunch. Eggs Benny for the both of us please. We have the fixings for a late snack kinda supper apres du Hot Tub!

A new day has dawned. Sort of. Last night after we got back to Chez Lagoon we watched two, no three, no four, yes! Four sea otters gambolling about in the waters below our room. The heron who was trying to catch his dinner was not impressed with their antics. The entertainment lasted about forty minutes before they slipped away to wherever sea otters go.
This morning we have a low overcast sky that appears to still heavy with rain. I don't know how it could still hold moisture as it came down in buckets last night. My only hope is the Left Coast of the Hugh-ess is also being hit with the deluge.

My Lobster and I are home. Yesterday we woke up at about 07:00 hrs. We ate breakfast, packed up and headed out by 09:00 hrs. We stopped in Hub City to pick up a couple of items at a craft shop and when we arrived at the Wayward Inn I checked our fuel consumption for the return trip and the Ram operated at 12.2L/100km. Not too shabby.
