Some of our Favorite Spots...Isle D'Orleans


September 30 through October 3 we came here to relax, tour the island, and try and catch a glimpse of the Queen Mary II as it passed the Island.
Our site was right on the water, romantic & picturesque .

The little island has mostly agriculture as an economic base. There are even vineyards, here Claire & I pose with the Mainland in the distance as a background.

Peaceful is the best word I can think of to describe this place...
Here Claire sits at the edge of our site just before dinner....

Low tide, Claire is sitting on the sea-wall at the back of our camp site.
Those commercial vessels are a common site.

Being camped right on the water, you have an ever changing view. The tide movement exposes, then covers up 60 feet of shoreline twice a day.
Here I am walking on the rocks that will be submerged in a matter of hours.

The view from our site was really terrific, many cruise & commercial vessels....but every night we got treated to one of these.....

Here is another stunning sunset viewed from the compy confines of our Carriage. We were set-up to watch the cruise ships & the sunsets...
It was so nice!
