Although we hadn\u2019t planned on being there so long, we spent 3 nights at achor there, going ashore, doing some boat tasks, relaxing, and Lucie even went swimming although the water temperature was only in the 50\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>So far, we\u2019ve mainly had beautiful weather with little of the fog that Nova Scotia is famous for. Daytime temps have been in the 70\u2019s to low 80\u2019s, and cooling off into the 50\u2019s at night for comfortable sleeping.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"IMG_8364.JPG\" src=\"https:\/\/wildhorse.fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_8364.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 8364\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"IMG_0623.png\" src=\"https:\/\/wildhorse.fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0623.png\" alt=\"IMG 0623\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Carter\u2019s Beach<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"IMG_0607.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/wildhorse.fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0607.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG 0607\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" border=\"0\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Chillin<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Yesterday, we did a short trip up to Brooklyn\/Liverpool to go to a dock to refill water, get showers and reprovision. \u00a0Actually we went grocery shopping, but since it\u2019s on a boat, everything has to have a special word, so we reprovisioned. \u00a0The main claim to fame for Brooklyn, NS is that it is the birthplace of Hank Snow, for all you country music buffs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The people here are extremely friendly and half the marina seems like they have already come by to say hello and give us advice on where to eat and what to do. \u00a0I had to change the oil in WildHorse\u2019s motor a couple of days ago, and when I asked our dock neighbor where I could go to dispose of the used oil, he said \u201coh, just give it to me and I\u2019ll take it to the service station next time I go\u201d. \u00a0Seems like that\u2019s how people are here!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"IMG_0629.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/wildhorse.fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0629.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG 0629\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Heading into Liverpool Bay. \u00a0That lighthous is one of the oldest on the East Coast of North America.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We are planning to set out in the morning for La Have, where there are many islands that are supposedly beautiful as well. \u00a0Dont\u2019 forget to subscribe to get updates and check our Where Are We page!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After being somewhat off-grid for a few days, we have wifi again so it\u2019s time [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":265,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildhorse.fun\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildhorse.fun\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildhorse.fun\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildhorse.fun\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildhorse.fun\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=267"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/wildhorse.fun\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":304,"href":"https:\/\/wildhorse.fun\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267\/revisions\/304"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildhorse.fun\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildhorse.fun\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildhorse.fun\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildhorse.fun\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
