Foraging Weekend!
For the first time this month I had the weekend off. The weather has been stellar and the tides were favourable for replenishing our dulse stash. Dulse (Palmaria palmata) is an edible seaweed rich in nutrients and popular among maritimers. Every community boats that they have THE best dulse and with prices online of aroundContinue reading “Foraging Weekend!”

“Worth Getting Up Early…”
…those were Dan’s words this morning as we explored the beach to Clarke Head Arch. Thanks to Kelly and Dan for booking their tour with Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers today.
Heeding the Call…

Witness to Erosion and Celebrating the Return of the Soley Cove Waterfalls!
I had a return tour participant today and we ventured out to Soley Cove. With numerous Five Islands Provincial Park Tours Soley Cove warranted a special private tour.

It had caused severe flooding, major damage and one death across the BayContinue reading “Witness to Erosion and Celebrating the Return of the Soley Cove Waterfalls!”
