TIME TO MOVE

Our time at Fundy passed much too quickly and it was soon time to move. Owen had made new friends during our stay and he was sad to be moving on. We assured him that new friends were waiting just down the road.

Packing takes just a few minutes and then we were headed further east and south to St. Andrews by the Sea, an area of New Brunswick I had never explored.

We lucked out and got a site right on the beach and this was our morning view while Mary had coffee in bed.

Owen loved it too as he could sit on the rocks and watch the tide roll in. Of course he got wet but that's part of the fun of camping by the ocean.

These guys went by every day, not for fish but for seaweed. We had a chance to chat and learned how seaweed was collected, dried,  stored, transported and used in products from toothpaste to fertilizer. These guys collect from May to October and have been harvesting seaweed for twenty years. They ship to over 80 countries. It's a vital industry to the local economy.

St. Andrews turned out to be a hidden gem and we will show you why tomorrow.
