Today, Trapper had to write her last exam of the year in her online course. So, that gave me time to pack the car and go to church and th St John's Basilica. It was quite a nice church and I was really struck by the vibrancy of the colours in the large stained glass windows, as well as the huge size of the alter and backdrop of the alter.

There were thousands of Puffins, Common Murrs and Razorbill Auks. They filled the hill side and air around the boat. We also saw many h...

So, the first few days will be a bit more recreation rather than orginal. 'Today" we got up and left the house around 7:45 for the Wood Islands Ferry and got on no problem and had our first nice ferry ride.
