Tall ships

 I was to Montague but came back to Charlottetown to see the Tall ships in the harbour under sail.

 It was windy all day with gusts over 60 km/h. The had planned on sailing to Summerside this evening.
But because of the wind they just went across the harbour and back to the wharf.

Mostly overcast day with the temperature at 20.

Dromore Trail

 There were about 40 hikers in the group today to hike part of the Dromore trail.

 This photo of the Pisquid river is interesting with the reflection of the trees on the water.

 We hiked in the Campbell road and then though the center loop and the long part of the south loop and then got a ride back to the starting point.  The hike was about 8 km and took about 2 1/2 hours.

This evening I cycled around the Event ground were the Shania Twain concert is being held, looks like standing room only.
