A Quick Visit to P.E.I

Jeremy, Julie, Kennedy, Jackson and Mickey arrived late on  Saturday evening.  Jackson was coming off the Canadian Water-skiing Championships where he placed 2nd in the Slalom.

On Sunday after church Jeremy and family, Liam, Bob and I hustled to Caribou to catch the ferry to P.E.I.

 
We went to Charlottetown and had supper at Peake's Quay.  The next morning after Mickey and the boys swam in the hotel pool we drove to Cavendish and toured Avonlea, the place which inspired the setting in Anne of Green Gables.





We toured the house, the haunted woods and lover's lane.

From Cavendish we went to Rusticoville and went deep-sea fishing.



We first fished for mackeral.  I didn't fish, but everyone else was just hauling the fish in as fast as they could get the rod into the water and out.  When the first school was fished out we moved to another place for more.

Jeremy caught the biggest mackeral.





After catching the mackerel we moved further out on the St. Lawrence Basin to fish for cod.  Everyone caught at least one, but Liam got the biggest.


As we were moving toward the cod fishing area we saw a school of porpoises chasing some tuna.  This was the most exiting part of the whole fishing trip.  Jeremy made a video showing the porpoises.
